How to retrive a deleted sticky note?

I long pressed the sticky note in order to copy it...and it just disappeared

Hello desktop 10

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

If you accidentally deleted Sticky Notes, you can try the following method:

  • If your Sticky Notes app is synchronized with your Microsoft account, you can recover the deleted notes in the web version of Outlook. Just sign in to Outlook web page with your Microsoft account, click the "Deleted Items" folder in the left panel, find the sticky note you want to recover, and then right click the note and select "Recover" button. (I have done the operation of deleting Sticky Notes, and I can find them in Deleted Items)

  • If your sticky notes application is not synchronized with your Microsoft account, You can also manually find the autosave folder, which is usually located at C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes.

  • If you just accidentally close a sticky note instead of deleting it, you can reopen it in the Sticky Notes app. Simply open the Sticky Notes app, look at your sticky notes list, find the sticky note you want to reopen, then right-click on it and select "Open Sticky Note". You can also double-click a sticky note to pin it to the desktop.

Hope these methods can help you get your sticky notes back. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me again.
