Some notes wouldn't sync to iCloud.com account, now they're deleted
D*mmit, maybe I'm just a warning tale for others out there. The forums I read gave me the exact advice that 100% deleted my notes, instead of got them on my iCloud account. I'm a writer and the notes I lost could be invaluable ideas that can never be replaced. This really is f**ked up.
Iphone 4s, version 8.4, iCloud.com accessed on windows google chrome browser.
So, this was my problem: some of my notes wouldn't sync to my iCloud account. They all seemed to be around the time I was on a month-long trip where I didn't have internet, though there's a chance that a small amount of newer ones also didn't sync. So they're on my iPhone, but I can't access them on my iCloud.com account. I can see all of my newer notes though.
So on a forum, someone had a similar problem. The advice given was: go to your settings, turn off, then on, Notes in iCloud. I did that. Now, the notes that weren't syncing are deleted. And just to clarify, the other 95% of my notes remain untouched. Just this batch was deleted.
If there is any hope of recovery let me know, though I'm skeptical.
And if you had the same problem as me, please read this before you make the same mistake. I could have manually emailed them all to myself, and almost did, but I decided to do some forum reading first.
