Step 1: Open the Notes App
The first step to accessing recently deleted notes on your iPhone is to open the Notes app. Locate the Notes icon on your home screen and tap on it to open the app.
Step 2: Navigate to the Recently Deleted Folder
Once you have the Notes app open, you will see a list of folders on the left-hand side. Scroll down and tap on the “Recently Deleted” folder. This folder contains all the notes that you have deleted within the last 30 days.

Step 4: Permanently Delete Notes
If you have decided that you no longer need the deleted notes and want to free up space on your iPhone, you can permanently delete them. To do this, open the “Recently Deleted” folder and tap on the “Edit” button in the upper-right corner. Then, select the notes you want to delete permanently and tap on “Delete.” Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Step 5: Adjust Recently Deleted Settings
By default, the “Recently Deleted” folder keeps deleted notes for 30 days. If you want to change this setting, go to the Notes app’s settings. Tap on “Notes,” then “Recently Deleted,” and you will see an option to adjust the duration. You can set it to 30 days, 1 year, or keep deleted notes forever.
