My data got deleted and I would like to retrieve it if possible

I received an email from dropbox saying that they will be deleting all my files on the account if i do not respond ina certain time frame. As I have missed this time frame, I would like to know if I could still retrieve the data. I have access to my account and I already searched for deleted files and did not locate the data. Can you please help if possible?
