I believe that you have permanently lost that Note. You were unable to find it in Deleted Notes or on iCloud.

Question: Did you recently delete / remove an email account from your mail app? If you did, then the Note may have been associated with that email account. Restoring that email account may bring the Note back.


I would also like you to explore the following:


Use iCloud.com to restore and recover iCloud information

You can use iCloud.com on a computer to recover recently deleted files or restore an earlier version of information that was automatically archived in iCloud.

Recovering Lost Notes:

If you have lost the notes, then here is what to try...


A. Start Here: If you're Missing Notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


B. Restore from a Backup:

Did your ever back up your iPhone with these installed? If so, back up you could back up your iPhone, and then restore it from the backup. Note that the backup must be of the same iOS version as what is currently installed.


C. iCloud in Settings: Look in iCloud settings in each device, and make sure that Notes is clicked. If it is, then unclick it, and then click it again.
