I have lost my SSD on my MacBook Pro Mid 2014, that is I have been able to salvage almost all files of importance, except a critical Notes folder.

My MacBook Pro Mid 2014 hard disk has crashed, SMART Disk errors were the problem. I have been able to salvage most of the critical data, but I need a Notes App folder. When I boot Notes the App it finds only one of three folders.


Where does the Notes App store data when it is not shared on iCloud storage?


MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

I think this is it...


/Users/YourUserName/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes/NoteStore.sqlite-shm


/Users/YourUserName/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/NotesV7.storedata-shm


/Users/YourUserNamed1/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes/NoteStore.sqlite-wal


/Users/YourUserName/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/NotesV7.storedata-wal


/Users/YourUserName/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Notes.plist


Of course the v7 may be different, this was on Mojave... I hope your OS is close to the same.
