That is where you will see the StickyNotes.snt file. Navigate to the below folder: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes You will now see hidden files that were not visible before, and they will be a little faded compared to other folders/files. Under the View tab, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives and click on Apply and OK. Search for Show Hidden Files in Windows search and open it. However, you will have to unhide it first. There is one folder where you can find the contents of your deleted Sticky Notes note. Some files are hidden to protect them from getting deleted accidentally - mostly the system files. Your computer doesn’t show all files and folders are visible. Now close Sticky Notes and relaunch it and you should see all deleted notes from that day back in the list. In my case, there is no previous version because I stopped using Sticky Notes since last year and I will share why later in the guide. If there is a previous version, select it, and click on Restore, Apply, and OK. Under the Previous Versions tab, you will find older versions of Sticky Notes with dates. You can also use the Alt+Enter shortcut if you have a desktop shortcut for the app to launch the Properties dialog directly. Search for Sticky Notes, right-click on it and select Properties. You can restore Sticky Notes to a previous version which will recover any deleted notes the next time you launch Sticky Notes. Microsoft has made it difficult to find this feature, but it exists and is easy to use. How long these deleted notes stay there will depend on your Outlook settings but if you have never used it, the chances are that it is still there. Click on Deleted Items in the left sidebar, and you will see all the notes there waiting for you to be recovered!
