Lost Note file and it’s not in the Deleted Files folder
How do I get a Note file vack when it’s not in the Deleted files folder?
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
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.
