Note Trash & Recovery

Learn how notes are safely deleted, restored from the trash, or permanently purged from your device.

Soft Deleting Notes

• To delete a note, click the Delete trash icon in the note's action menu, or drag the note node to the trash bin in the folder tree.
• Deletions are "soft deletions": the file is moved to the Trash and is hidden from search results and graphs, but is not immediately destroyed.

Restoring & Purging Notes

1. Navigate to the Trash page from the side navigation.

2. Review the list of recently deleted notes.

3. Restore: Select a note and click Restore to return it to its original folder location.

4. Permanent Delete: Click Empty Trash or select specific notes and click Purge to permanently delete the files from your browser cache and cloud storage.
