Icloud notes

hey so accidentally i pressed backspace and lost one of my important notes and it was too late to undo typing.

I browsed on @icloud.com for recovery but all i can see is this mini page icon since my note contained a table. I need that note asap. What do I do?

I am unable to open it nor copy it.

please help.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

Hello, crankoo.


When you delete a note, it’s moved to the Recently Deleted folder on iCloud.com and on your devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID. You can view and recover notes in the Recently Deleted folder for up to 30 days before they’re permanently removed from all your devices. If you want to edit notes in the Recently Deleted folder, you must first recover them.


You can recover and edit notes you deleted in the last 30 days on iCloud.com or on your devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID. However, you can’t recover notes you permanently removed.

    1. In Notes on iCloud.com, select Recently Deleted in the folder list on the left.
    2. If you don’t see Recently Deleted, you don’t have any notes in that folder, and there’s nothing to be recovered.
    3. Select a note, then click Recover in the toolbar.
    4. The note moves to the Notes folder.
    5. If you want to move a recovered note directly to a folder you created, drag the note from the Recently Deleted folder to another folder.


Note: If you delete a shared note that you don’t own, the note doesn’t move to your Recently Deleted folder. See Delete shared notes on iCloud.com.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!

Your profile shows using an iPhone and you unlocked the note View notes and locked notes on iCloud.com - Apple Support

When you set up Notes with iCloud, your notes stay up to date on iCloud.com and every device with Notes turned on in iCloud settings.

The notes list contains the notes in the currently selected folder. Notes are listed by last-modified date, with the most recent note at the top of the notes list. The list shows the first few words of each note.

Is iPhone also synced with Mac , and notes box is turned on in Mac system preferences ( the notes can be visible ) in a scenario when you iCloud storage space is in designated limits , see the recent iCloud storage Check your iCloud storage on iCloud.com - Apple Support

How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

In the your screen shot it says that iCloud storage is full either upgrade the storage plan Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support

Or follow the article Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

As per the article How to lock or unlock notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Before you begin

If you're signed in to iCloud with a Managed Apple ID, you can't lock your notes.

Note : you have not deleted the notes so won't find out in recently deleted , the main reason note will not be found is the iCloud storage is full , when you add new notes they won't be saved .

This article Get help with iCloud Photos - Apple Support

What happens when I go over my iCloud storage limit?

If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud and your library won’t stay up to date across your devices. To continue using iCloud Photos, upgrade your storage plan or reduce the amount of storage that you're using.

Reduce the storage for iCloud Photos by deleting photos and videos that you don't want to keep from your iOS devices or on iCloud.com. Your device will immediately remove any photos and videos that you delete and they won't be available for recovery in your Recently Deleted album.

If you're out of storage, your devices won't back up to iCloud, and new photos, videos, documents, and your information won't stay up to date.
