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.

Hello dhoward1,

I'm Jin, a fellow Windows 10 user and an independent advisor. I'm sorry to hear that you accidentally deleted a sticky note.

Unfortunately a deleted sticky note can no longer be restored. Perhaps you might have just close the note instead? Try checking the Sticky Notes list if it's still there.

To check, on an open Sticky note, click the 3 dots on the upper right then select Notes List. You will see all active Sticky Notes that you have.

I hope this helps.
