Where is the Recently Deleted Notes Folder on iPhone?
If you’ve ever accidentally deleted a note on your iPhone and can’t find it in the usual locations, you might be wondering, “Where is the Recently Deleted Notes folder on iPhone?” This article will guide you through finding the Recently Deleted folder, understanding how it works, and how to recover your deleted notes.
Understanding the Recently Deleted Folder
The Recently Deleted folder is a feature in the Notes app on your iPhone that stores deleted notes for a limited period of time. When you delete a note, it’s not immediately removed from your device; instead, it’s moved to the Recently Deleted folder. This gives you a chance to recover the note before it’s permanently deleted.
Locating the Recently Deleted Folder
To find the Recently Deleted folder on your iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Open the Notes app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Notes” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Recently Deleted” in the menu on the left side of the screen.
The Recently Deleted folder will now be displayed on the right side of the screen, showing all the notes you’ve deleted within the past 30 days.
Recovering Deleted Notes
If you find a note you want to recover from the Recently Deleted folder, follow these steps:
1. Open the Notes app and go to the “Recently Deleted” folder.
2. Tap on the note you want to recover.
3. Tap on the “Move” button (a folder icon with an arrow) at the bottom of the screen.
4. Choose a folder to move the note to, or tap “New Folder” to create a new folder for the note.
5. Tap “Move” to confirm your selection.
The note will now be moved to the selected folder, and it will no longer appear in the Recently Deleted folder.
Clearing the Recently Deleted Folder
If you want to permanently delete all the notes in the Recently Deleted folder, follow these steps:
1. Open the Notes app and go to the “Recently Deleted” folder.
2. Tap on the “Edit” button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
3. Select all the notes you want to delete by tapping on each one.
4. Tap on “Delete All” at the bottom of the screen.
All selected notes will be permanently deleted from your iPhone, and the Recently Deleted folder will be cleared.
Conclusion
The Recently Deleted folder is a useful feature in the Notes app on your iPhone, allowing you to recover deleted notes within a 30-day period. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily locate the folder, recover deleted notes, and clear the folder when necessary.
