You can check Recent Deleted in the app or you can look on iCloud for it. If you are running TimeMachine it might be there.
- Open the folder where your Time Machine backups are stored.
- Look for a folder named “Backups.backupdb”. Open this folder.
- Within this folder, you’ll find another folder named after your Mac. Open it.
- Here, you’ll see several folders with dates on them, each representing a different backup. Open the folder that corresponds to the date before you lost your note.
- Navigate to the subfolder: /Users/yourusername/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/.
- Here, you’ll find several files that end with the .storedata file extension. These are your note backups. Open the file that corresponds to the date before you lost your note.
- Look through the contents of the file to find your lost note.
