- q: How do I restore a deleted note in Notesnook?
|
|
a: Open Trash from the side menu, open the context menu on the note and choose Restore. It goes back where it was, with its content and notebook links intact.
|
|
- q: How long does Notesnook keep deleted notes?
|
|
a: Seven days by default. You can change the clear trash interval to Daily, 7 days, 30 days or 365 days, and Pro and Believer plans can set it to Never so nothing is ever cleared automatically.
|
|
- q: What goes to the trash in Notesnook?
|
|
a: Only notes and notebooks. Tags, colors, reminders and attachments are removed immediately when you delete them and do not pass through the trash.
|
|
- q: Does clearing the trash free up my storage?
|
|
a: No. Your storage limit counts attachments only, and attachments never go to the trash — so notes and notebooks sitting in the trash cost you nothing against it.

# How do I restore a deleted note in Notesnook?
|
|
|
|
Deleting a note or a notebook moves it to `{{trash}}` instead of erasing it. Open `{{trash}}` from the side menu, open the item's menu and press `{{restore}}` to put it back. Items left in the trash are cleared automatically after **7 days** by default.
|
|
|
|
## What goes to the trash
|
|
|
|
Only two things: **notes** and **notebooks**. Deleting a notebook also moves its sub-notebooks with it.
|
|
|
|
Tags, colors, reminders and attachments do not pass through the trash — deleting those removes them straight away. Notes that delete themselves on a date you set with [note expiry](/notes/note-expiry) land in the trash the same way manually deleted notes do.
|
|
|
|
## Restore a note or notebook
|
|
|
|
:::tabs key:platform
|
|
== Desktop/Web
|
|
|
|
1. Open `{{trash}}` from the side menu.
|
|
2. Right click the item to open its menu.
|
|
3. Press `{{restore}}`.
|
|
|
|
Restoring a notebook also restores every sub-notebook that went to the trash with it.
|
|
|
|
== Mobile
|
|
|
|
1. Open `{{trash}}` from the side menu.
|
|
2. Tap the  button on the item.
|
|
3. Tap `{{restore}}`.
|
|
|
|
Tapping a trashed **notebook** opens a `{{restore}}` prompt directly, with `{{restore}}` and `{{delete}}` as the two choices.
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
Restored notes keep their content, their tags and their place in notebooks — nothing is re-created from scratch.
|
|
|
|
### Restoring a notebook re-checks your notebook limit
|
|
|
|
Free plans allow 50 notebooks and Essential allows 500; Pro and Believer are unlimited. On the desktop and web apps, restoring notebooks counts what you are about to restore against that limit, so a restore that would push you over is blocked until you free up notebooks or upgrade. See [Plans & limits](/plans-and-limits).
|
|
|
|
## Delete a single item permanently
|
|
|
|
:::tabs key:platform
|
|
== Desktop/Web
|
|
|
|
1. Open `{{trash}}` from the side menu.
|
|
2. Right click the item and press `{{delete}}`, or select it and press the `{{delete}}` key.
|
|
3. Confirm the prompt.
|
|
|
|
== Mobile
|
|
|
|
1. Open `{{trash}}` from the side menu.
|
|
2. Tap the  button on the item.
|
|
3. Tap `{{delete}}` and confirm.
|
|

Permanently deleting a note also removes its content and its whole [version history](/note-version-history).
|
|
|
|
## Clear the trash
|
|
|
|
:::tabs key:platform
|
|
== Desktop/Web
|
|
|
|
1. Open `{{trash}}` from the side menu.
|
|
2. Press the clear trash button on the list.
|
|
3. Read the prompt and press `{{clear}}`.
|
|
|
|
You should see `{{trashCleared}}`.
|
|
|
|
== Mobile
|
|
|
|
1. Open `{{trash}}` from the side menu.
|
|
2. Tap the floating button at the bottom right.
|
|
3. Read the prompt and press `{{clear}}`.
|
|
|
|
You should see `{{trashCleared}}`.

`Clearing trash will permanently delete all the items in your trash. This action is IRREVERSIBLE.` Notesnook has no server-side copy to restore from — the only other copy is one you made yourself with a [backup](/backup-and-restore-notes-in-notesnook).
|
|

|
## Change how long the trash keeps things
|
|
|
|
The `{{clearTrashInterval}}` setting automatically clears trash after a certain period of time. The options are `{{daily}}`, `7 days`, `30 days`, `365 days` and `{{never}}`. **The default is `7 days`.**
|
|
|
|
Cleanup measures from the start of the day an item was deleted, and runs against everything already in the trash, not only items deleted from now on.
|
|
|
|
:::tabs key:platform
|
|
== Desktop/Web
|
|
|
|
1. Go to `{{settings}}` → `{{behaviour}}`.
|
|
2. Under `{{trash}}`, open the `{{clearTrashInterval}}` dropdown.
|
|
3. Pick an interval.
|
|
|
|
== Mobile
|
|
|
|
1. Go to `{{settings}}` → `{{customization}}` → `{{behavior}}`.
|
|
2. Open `{{clearTrashInterval}}`.
|
|
3. Pick an interval.

|
|
|
|
`{{never}}` turns automatic cleanup off entirely, so deleted notes stay in the trash until you remove them yourself. It is available on **Pro** and **Believer** — on free and Essential plans, choosing it shows an upgrade prompt. See [Plans & limits](/plans-and-limits).

## Does clearing the trash free up my storage?
|
|
|
|
No. Storage limits count [attachments](/attachments-and-files) only, and attachments never go to the trash. Notes cost you nothing against your storage whether they are live or trashed, so emptying the trash does not change your storage figure.
