Q: Why don't I have a "Recently deleted" folder in my Notes? I am fairly sure I upgraded my Notes app (I can make bulleted lists & draw). One note mysteriously vanished yesterday and I want to try to recover it.
An important note vanished yesterday... poof!... into thin air. At one point, I used the search field within Notes and the missing note showed up. But, it's now gone again. I can't find it anywhere. In searching for a solution, I see that I should have a folder in Notes called "Recently deleted". I do not. I believe I have the upgraded version of Notes because I can make checklists & draw.

I have looked in all folders. I have now toggled off Notes for any accounts where it had been enabled (no Notes existed in those accounts). On my Mac, in the left navigation panel of the Notes app (folders), I have: iCloud Notes, On My Mac Notes, and my gmail Notes. On my iPhone, the list of folders just has iCloud Notes and On My iPhone Notes.
Bottom line:
I've been at this for over 2 hours now. I'm willing to forfeit the missing note (sadly), but really want to know where my "Recently Deleted" folder is (don't know if I ever had it). If you tell me to reset my phone or dig through back-ups as a last resort, please explain step-by-step and let me know what I could lose in doing so.
Thanks in advance!
