Notes “recently deleted” not showing

I don't have a "recently deleted " folder in my notes app. How do I recover a note I accidentally deleted that isn't backed up to iCloud ?


iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15

Hi Hfem,


If you are missing a note on your iPhone, see If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This resource goes over the following steps:


    1. Check your account settings
    2. Check your Recently Deleted folder
    3. Use Search to find your notes 
    4. Manually search for your notes



From Check your Recent Deleted folder:


If you use notes with another service, like Gmail or Yahoo, check the Trash folder of that account in the Mail app. If you delete a note from the Notes app, your third-party account will usually keep it in the Trash folder. To recover a note from the Trash folder, you need to copy and paste the note to a new note in the Notes app.


Take care.
