Notes disappeared on all devices after deleting them on an iPad and iCloud Hi! I have a Macbook Air, an iPad and an iPhone. Because my iCloud was full I tried to perform some cleanup. To do that I deleted Notes there on the iPad. The delete button explicitly says that by doing this you will delete your notes on the iPad and iCloud. I was not aware that this will also delete my notes on other devices (due to iCloud sync I guess). Maybe saying that this would delete notes on all iCloud synced devices would be useful here. Anyhow, is there a way to recover these notes somehow? I do not have iCloud backup or Time Machine. Is there a recently deleted section for iCloud somewhere (like all other cloud services have)? I looked just about anywhere and was unable to find the lost notes. Thanks!

Thank you and I Thank Lane from the local Apple store. It took quite some time to restore my phone from my MacBook again, but he was able to stop iCloud from deleting my restored iPhone notes and sync them to my laptop and back up to the cloud, back to my phone a current notes. He is a Genius !
