There's no sign of it in Deleted Items.
Is there anything listed on your Events page?
I don't know whether or not to upgrade to a higher version of Dropbox (am on Basic) in order to get phone support ...
In order to get phone support you would need to upgrade to a Business team plan which has a minimum of three users. Any paid plan would get you access to live chat and email support via the ticket system.
Note that upgrading won't have any effect on your ability to restore files (i.e. if you can't recover them with Basic, you wouldn't be able to recover them even if you upgraded).

Hi Rich, thanks for replying.
OK I might upgrade to see if I can get phone support.
In Events it says that I deleted the folder on 10th Jan (even though I didn't physically send it to Delete) and this was the day after I moved the folder into the other cloud so a sort of delayed Delete.

Hi vevaw, if the folder appears in events, do it show any other files in that event?
Since this is now over 30 days ago, it wouldn't be possible to recover files from beyond that time, unfortunately. Upgrading to any other plan wouldn't help in this regard either, as it isn't retroactive.

Hi Jay, it's not 30 days just two days ago, sorry I wrote Jan not Feb. Is there any chance of recovery do you know?
Best wishes Vicky
