    Restoring Deleted Sticky Notes


    After accidentally deleting a sticky note, is there a way to restore the note? Also, is there any way to disable the shortcut of Ctrl+D to prevent accidental deletion? I'm using Sticky Notes 4.5.6.0 on Windows 10. Thank you.

    :)

    Sticky Notes

    Hi there,

    I can understand the frustration - let's see if we can fix this for you!

    Let's try a couple of steps:

    Step 1: Recover Missing Sticky Notes from the File Location

    When you accidentally delete a sticky note, the app data is still there. We can restore deleted sticky notes from a StickyNotes.snt file.

    Open File Explorer on Windows, navigate to C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes.

    Find and right click on StickyNotes.snt file.

    Select Restore Previous Versions.

    Step 2: Recover Closed Sticky Notes from All Notes.

    Open Sticky Notes app.

    Right click on Sticky Notes app on Task bar, then choose All notes.

    A full list of notes will appear, including the one that you closed.

    Double click the note that you want to recover, then it will display as a standalone note like all regular ones.

    The above was copied verbatim from this link:

  3. Can't delete unused Sticky Notes neither change their colors

    Hi Yhendra,

    Thank you for using Windows10.

    I understand your concern and would suggest that you try deleting the sticky note from the source location of the sticky notes from the specific user account.

    The AppData folder in the below step is a hidden folder, try the below step to unhide it and later try the steps mentioned.

    Steps to unhide:

    • Open File Explorer by right click on Start Icon
      and select File Explorer.
    • Click on View and check Hidden items.

    Try the below step to delete the sticky note:

    a) Open File Explorer.

    b) Navigate to the following location:
    C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes.

    c) In the Stick notes
    folder you will find a file called StickyNotes.snt

    d) You will need the file named StickyNotes.snt

    Note: If you delete StickyNotes.snt
    file this will delete all the sticky notes present on the computer event the new ones.

    Make sure that you backup any newly created sticky notes.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need further assistance and we'll be glad to help.

    Let's see if with the following steps we can solve the problem:

    1.- Open >> Sticky notes, when located on the taskbar (Right click on the option) >> Select: List of Notes, now check if your note is in that list.

    2.- Follow the steps suggested by the Windows MVP in your article
