imatali 0 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I cleared my trash not knowing I have 1 note in there and its now gone, doens't exist in the trash. Is there a way to "restore previous version" just like Dropbox? Or any other way to recover the note? Thanks. I'm using a Macbook High Sierra. Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,744 Posted November 5, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted November 5, 2018 On Evernote/Mac, expunged notes are moved to "purgatory" folder Other than that, you would have to rely on personal backups Link to comment
imatali 0 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Thanks, but I couldn't find the folder. Is it a hidden folder? Link to comment
imatali 0 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Oh OK, got it, look for it in Help in Evernote, then so on. Now that I found the Purgatory folder, what do I do? Link to comment

There's a separate folder for each note. File "content.enml" is the notes contents. You can try changing the extension to .html and open the file in a browser. Link to comment
imatali 0 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 OK, will try that now. Thank you very much for the tips. Link to comment
imatali 0 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 I've changed the .enml file into .html file. Since the original note is a text file, viewing it in web browser affects the font. So I imported it into Mac's Notes and it worked well. I call see the contents clearly, no jumbled up fonts. Thanks again for the help, really appreciate it. Link to comment

If you have a backup, you can use Time Machine to recover: Start "Time Machine" <Select from "Restore from Mac, Time Machine Backup or Boot Disk" <Continue <Click "Backup" to confirm your operation <Select the appropriate backup according to date and time <Select specific file <Start transmission. If you don't have a backup, unfortunately, you can do things: 1. Stop using this Mac. 2. Use the data recovery tool to scan your Mac to recover notes from emptied trash. Link to comment
