can we recover a deleted personal account from dropbox

If you deleted the account or it if was deleted due to inactivity, no, it cannot be recovered. If the account was part of a Business team and deleted within the last 7 days, the team admin might be able to restore it.

It wont be possible to do that Sandile_ndawonde - once an account is deleted its permanently deleted immediateley. Business accounts that still have an account running (i.e. the owner cancels somebody within the business but still pays the licence fee) can recover for 7 days, but, after that its not possible.

Also, once an account is inactive for over 12 months it would be deleted anyway.

So, even if they didnt delete and just left it without paying the files would now be totally removed.
