Recover Unsaved or Deleted Notepad Notes

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): It depends on the version. Windows 11 Notepad restores unsaved tabs when you reopen it, as long as session restore is on in its settings. Classic Notepad keeps nothing once you close without saving. For a saved .txt that was deleted, check the Recycle Bin or right-click the folder › Properties › Previous Versions if File History was on.

Step by step

Reopen Notepad: Windows 11 may bring back your unsaved tabs.
Deleted .txt file? Look in the Recycle Bin first.
Then try Previous Versions on the folder, if backups were on.
