Accidentally deleted the desktop on MacBook

When I deleted the backup of Desktop on DropBox, and later found the Desktop on MacBook Pro was removed accidentally. Would like to know how to recover it without available back-up.

Ask Dropbox Support if they have an “undo” for their deletion operation.


Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support


The Apple ‘undo” is a Time Machine or other backup.


I’d got that backup going before anything more disappears.

File sync services are not backups, whether iCloud or otherwise.
