Recovering deleted notes
I have accidentally deleted some incredibly important notes. I was wondering if there was possibly any way at all to recover these notes? Maybe there was a way to view the application's cache or look through deleted files on the phone's storage. I am willing to go as far as I need to recover the notes. I am using Android with Graphene OS if that is relevant. I would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
It will probably depend on which version of Notepad you were using, as there was a change on how the notes were stored. Before the change they were stored directly in the filesystem, whereas in the new one they started using SQLDelight. I think you might have a slight chance to get something back if you were using that older version, whereas if you were using the newer version, I think those notes are long gone.
You could try using PhotoRec, which is an open source data recovery software. The basic idea is that you plug your Android device into your computer and make it accessible as USB Mass Storage, and then you run PhotoRec. Here's one thread about it
Unfortunately, I had the newest version 3.0.4. Even then, it has been a couple at this point, so if there was anything, it would probably be gone. Thanks for the help anyway.
