If you deleted a Note then it should end up in the Recently Deleted Folder. You can get to it by tapping the back arrow (Top Left) until you see all the FOLDERS.

If you do not see the Recently Deleted Folder then that means that there are no notes that were recently deleted. One thing to know and that is that a deleted note only remains in the Recently Deleted Folder for 30 days. After that it is automatically completely deleted.
