This wikiHow will teach you how to recover accidentally deleted Sticky Notes in Windows 10. First, make sure you're signed into your Microsoft account by clicking the gear icon in the top right corner of the app, then go to https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/inbox in a web browser and use your Outlook account to find your accidentally deleted notes.

Steps

Go to https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/inbox and sign in. If you're already logged in, you can skip this step. Otherwise, enter your Microsoft login information (which should be the same login information you used for Sticky Notes).

Right-click the note you want to recover. You'll see a menu drop down.
4
Click Restore. It's near the top or the middle of the menu.
- The note will appear again in your Sticky Notes. If you don't see the note as soon as you click Restore, you need to restart Sticky Notes by closing it and opening it again.
- You can also copy the text of the note and paste it into a new Sticky Note instead.^{[2]
