If you accidentally delete a Samsung note, the first thing you should do is check the Trash. There is a Trash folder to store your deleted Samsung Notes for about 30 days. If your notes are still in the Trash, this is the safest and easiest way to restore them without using any third-party tools.

Step 1. Go to the Samsung Notes app and tap the three-horizontal-line symbol on the upper left edge.

Step 2. Now, you can see the Trash folder in the list. Tap it to move on.

Step 3. Browse all your deleted notes and select one or more items. Then, you can see there are two options: Restore all and Delete all. Here, tap the left Restore all option to restore Samsung Notes.

If you can't find your notes in the Trash and don't have an available backup, you can try to recover deleted or lost Samsung notes using professional data recovery tools like Apeaksoft Android Data Recovery. This tool can scan your Samsung phone for recoverable data without requiring a previous backup. So, if you don’t back up Samsung notes with Samsung Cloud, you should try this professional data recovery program.

Step 1. Download the Software and Connect Your Samsung Phones

Download this Android data recovery program on your Mac or Windows PC with the above download button. Connect your Samsung phone to the computer with a USB cable. Then, this program will detect your Samsung phone.

Step 2. Enable USB Debugging on Your Samsung Phone

In the next window, you should follow the detailed on-screen instructions to enable USB debugging for Android.

Step 3. Search for Your Samsung Notes

Once you have enabled USB debugging for your Samsung phone, you can see the interface of various file types. Here, you should tick the Documents option under the Media section. If you want to recover other files, you can tick them all. Then, click Next to let the program work. Please tap the Allow/Authorize/Grant option on your Samsung phone when it prompts.

Step 4. Check and Recover Lost Samsung Notes

Once the scanning process is complete, you can check all the deleted Samsung Notes on the result interface. To improve the check, you can turn on Only display the deleted item(s). If you locate your deleted Samsung Notes successfully, click the Recover button to restore them.

If you have backed up your Samsung Notes with Samsung Cloud, you may be able to restore them from the backup using the Restore data option.

Step 1. Download and install Smart Switch on both of your Samsung phones.

Step 2. Open Smart Switch on both phones. On the old phone, select Send data, and on the new phone, select Receive data.
