Level 5* gazumped 11,639 Posted January 3, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hi. Once a note has been purged from the trash AFAIK it's totally gone - Evernote's servers will already have saved the latest version of your database without that note in their latest system backup, and any history for the note is purged when it is deleted. There's an outside chance that if you can find a device with a copy of your database that hasn't yet synced to update its files, you could keep it offline and rescue the content, and if you're a Mac user, there was some talk of a 'Purgatory' folder on your local hard drive which might still have a last, remaining copy of a deleted note. I don't know whether that still applies. A lot of us keep regular local backups of our system, or at least the Evernote database files, in case of just such a 'Doh!' moment. I use Backupery daily on my database and also keep a weekly system backup so I have two local copies! Sorry not to have better news. Link to comment

Your Mac data is just a copy; the master version is stored on the Evernote servers. With an internet connection, the automatic syncing will undo your database rollback. Find your lost note, and save it somewhere (export) Restore your database Restore the internet connection Link to comment

I don't think you can work directly with the data in TimeMachine Pick a date > recover the database > find the note using the Evernote app Link to comment
