I don't know much about developer mode, but I suppose that's how it is done to get my deleted notes back. I have a Jolla Sailfish OS 2.2 and would like to recover a deleted note. So I turned to the community page for help and I noticed other users asked this question as well, but I have not been able to access the deleted notes via the answers. I also think it's far too easy to accidentally delete notes and had hoped to find a trash bin somewhere on the phone. Haven't even been able to find where Jolla stores the notes on your phone so you can access them from the file browser like you can do with pictures and videos. When connecting my phone with my pc there isn't a file either containing the notes unlike pictures and videos. Could somebody help me out, please?

Notes is an app from the store, a native Jolla app.

Or there is remorse timer for notes at least. Anyways this needed to make feature request.

Hi, notes are saved in the sqlite3 database in the folder /usr/nemo/.local/share/jolla-notes/QML/OfflineStorage/Databases. You can open the database from terminal with a command sqlite3 xxxx.sqlite where xxxx is your database name. With a command .tables you can see, there is only one table notes. With a command .schema you can see the data columns saved are pagenr, color and body. So there seems not to be any data left after remorse timer has done its work in the Notes app itself. Currently your friend is the backup app which saves nicely your notes.

Unlike Windows, there is no 'recycle bin', once the file is deleted, that's it, it's burned, gone.

Thank you for your help! I indeed can't find my deleted note back. After issuing sqlite3 NotesStorage.sqlite (I renamed my notes database) I still don't get an oversight of all the notes I made. I had hoped there'd be a recycle bin somewhere, but I'll rely on my back up more, luckily I was able to recover part of the note that way. Thank you again.
