Hello FLSHOME,


The steps below will help to restore notes to iCloud:


"Recover recently deleted notes


You can recover and edit notes you deleted in the last 30 days on iCloud.com or on your devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID. However, you can’t recover notes you permanently removed.


  1. In Notes on iCloud.com, select Recently Deleted in the folder list on the left.
  2. If you don’t see Recently Deleted, you don’t have any notes in that folder, and there’s nothing to be recovered.
  3. Select a note, then click Recover in the toolbar.
  4. The note moves to the Notes folder.
  5. If you want to move a recovered note directly to a folder you created, drag the note from the Recently Deleted folder to another folder."


Delete and recover notes on iCloud.com


After you have the notes restored on iCloud.com, you can enable Notes in iCloud on your iPhone for them to appear. To do so with iOS 16:


  1. Tap Settings
  2. Tap your name
  3. Tap iCloud
  4. Tap Show All
  5. Turn on Notes


Let us know if you have any questions.

Take care!
