How to Recover deleted sticky notes on windows


Most of us take important notes and reminders on the "Sticky Notes" feature available in most of the windows operating system. One of the missing feature is, we can't save the sticky notes data. This will lead to accidental deletion of data/notes. If we accidentally hit the 'X' button, the note will get deleted and the data is gone. I'm one among who experienced this situation. 


Now, Is there a way to recover the deleted information? 

The answer is "Yes" :)

Below are the two methods from where we can recover the deleted data/Information.

Method 1 (Recommended)
  1. Navigate to the %AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\ directory
  2. Right click on StickyNotes.snt
  3. Select Restore Previous Versions
  4. This will pull the file from your latest restore point, if available
  5. Reboot

Method 2
  1. Open  %AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.snt 
  2. Open with Notepad application
  3.  Recover the required content from the file (Hard way) :)
Cheers!!
