Recently Deleted folder has disappeared from Notes

I made a new entry into a Note today and then tried to edit it. By accident I selected the whole note instead of just the new entry. I pressed the top left back arrow 'Folders' and the whole note simply disappeared, I immediately looked for Recently Deleted but this folder no longer appears. Where has it gone - I used to have it.

I only have 4 folders and the note is not in any of those.

Where else could I look for Recently Deleted or for the note?

I have searched for the note by signing into icloud.com and it isn't there.

I turned the phone off and on, the note has note has not reappeared nor the Recently Deleted folder

My icloud Backup is off.

I have an iphone SE IOS 17.5.1

iPhone SE, iOS 17

Recovering Deleted Notes:

A. Start Here: If you're Missing Notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

B. Restore from a Backup:

Did your ever back up your iPhone with these installed? If so, back up you could back up your iPhone, and then restore it from the backup. Note that the iOS backup version must be of the same version as what is installed.

C. iCloud in Settings: Look in iCloud settings in each device, and make sure that Notes is clicked. If it is, then unclick it, and then click it again.
