The possible options are...



You can't find it in the recently deleted folder, then probably you have not deleted any Notes in last 30 days.

  • You may have shared the Notes over AirDrop
  • You may have sent the Notes via iMessage or email to someone



Do not restore from iCloud backup.

iCloud backup doesn’t include information already stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memos, shared photos, iCloud Photos, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive
