I opened my Notes today to find that all of the ACTIVE notes have been replaced by DELETED notes. See attached image.
It's like I am looking at Notes Trash. I am not on iCloud and not synching in any way.
Is there any chance an overnight update to Big Sur OS caused this? How can I recover my active notes?!?!
Please help!

Hi there Enachi,
We understand that your notes have been replaced with deleted notes in the Notes app on your Mac. Let’s look into this together.
Since you do not sync your notes with iCloud, do you sync them with another email provider or are they only stored on your Mac? Do you see your notes in the Recently Deleted folder in the Notes app on your Mac?
About accounts and folders in Notes on Mac
Do you have these notes on any other devices? If so, are the notes showing as expected?
Also, do you back up your Mac with Time Machine? If you do, follow the steps here to try to restore your notes:

Take care!

Big Sur updated the night before. The VIEW of my notes switched to the Trash folder somehow.
Since my folder view on the left was collapsed, I didn't see the active notes. smh
Thanks!
