"Recently Deleted" Notes folder missing on iPhone My iPhone XR, running on 16.0.2, warned my iCloud is out of space. I suspected Notes as I was in the midst of scanning lots of old documents & transferring the scans to my Mac, & unbeknownst to me, my default Notes account for saving the scans was iCloud & not locally on the iPhone. Then I read, I should find the Recently Deleted folder to delete the files. But my iPhone, fully updated, does not show the Recently Deleted folder in Notes. I logged into & out of iCloud, rebooted the phone, & double-checked the Updates. Nothing has helped. I was able to find the Recently Deleted folder on iCloud.com & have deleted the files, so my issue here is, no longer accessing the heavy files, but only "How to get the iPhone to show the Recently Deleted folder for Notes?"

Deleted 'note' in iPhone XS, have no 'deleted messages' note folder, help! Accidently deleted a note, went to Folders in Notes, there's no "recently deleted" as all the online help says to go to. Why don't I have this folder? Checked on desktop iCloud, no recently deleted folder there either. How can I retrieve my lost note? Please help.

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.
