Lost some notes on my MacBook Pro and can't find it again after unlisting notes from the "Apps on this Mac Using iCloud"

Hi All, I had some very important notes that I wrote down in Notes. I kept getting a pop up notification on my Notes saying "Your iCould Storage is Full" and to my regret I though the solution to solve this was to go and unlist the notes app from the apps on the mac using iCloud. When I did that I did not see any more notes on my computer. I then listed Notes as an app using iCloud again and I got most of my notes back except for a set of notes that disappeared. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

When you turned off notes application box in Mac https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/icloud/mmb1de40d9/1.0/icloud/1.0

But you had short of iCloud storage space , the step to be followed was increase the space in iCloud https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201318 , was optimisation feature turned as on , disable it .


Once again you turned on notes application the notes from iCloud server / if a gmail account was also configured will start syncing having high network speed .

In notes preferences do the settings accordingly , first click on drop down arrow of default iCloud account ( a ) first choose iCloud . let the complete data from iCloud server sync ( b ) once completed select gmail then on my Mac .

Search notes on my Mac section in your notes application ( on my section will be on bottom end of side bar ) .
