It’s not possible to delete files from Dropbox without deleting them. Instead, you can move the file to a different folder in your Dropbox account.
It’s not possible to delete photos permanently. Even when you go to the trouble of deleting them from your phone, they are still on the phone’s memory card. When you take a photo, it is saved to the phone’s internal memory and then copied onto the memory card. So if you remove the card from the phone and put it in your laptop, you can recover deleted photos.
When a file is deleted, it is not actually erased. Instead, the data that makes up the file is marked as available to be overwritten. This means that there’s a chance that the data could be recovered if you had access to the hard drive and knew what you were doing.
