I tried to reassign the ownership of a box folder, and when there was an error, I decided to go in and delete all collaborators who were no longer with the department.  In doing this, I had clicked on the next person to delete, and apparently deleted myself.  I was the owner of the file.  SO, one- where did it go? and two, can I regain ownership so that I can transfer the folder appropriately?

    Hi Kristin, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    If you've accidentally removed yourself from a Collaborative folder, you will need to reach out to the owner you transfer the ownership of the folder to and request that they re-invite you to that folder again.

    For more details of invitation to collaborate, please check out this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696854-Inviting-Collaborators 

    Best,
