    Hi there, 

     

    Did you assign a trusted contact with your Dropbox Vault? If so, your trusted contact may still have a copy of your files when he/she downloaded the files on his/her end.  

     

    Hope this helps. 

     

    Thank you.

        Hi Crazyplantlady666, the Dropbox Vault isn't backed up in the same manner as other features, so if the Vault is deleted, this means that the files are permanently deleted.

         

        I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this matter.
