If you accidentally deleted notes, they should go to a recently deleted folder where you have up to 30 days to restore them.


If in Notes > Folders > there is no recently deleted folder, the notes are gone, especially if you sync notes with iCloud. To know, go to Settings > Your Name, iCloud, etc > iCloud > If notes are on and you deleted them, they're gone.


If Notes are not synced with iCloud and you have a backup made from before you deleted the notes, you can restore your phone from that backup, BUT your phone will be restored to the date the backup was made, meaning content added after the backup was made will be gone.
