Critical thought accidentally deleted #98778

https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/98778

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and for describing what happened.

Unfortunately, if the thought was permanently deleted (not just “forgotten”) and the Brain has already synced, the standard Undo cache is cleared after sync or closing the app, so the deletion can’t be undone directly.

Here are a few things you can try:

• Check if the thought might have been “Forgotten” instead of deleted. You can verify this by running a Report › Forgotten Thoughts from the desktop version.
• If you’ve accessed this Brain on other devices, open it there before syncing, as the deleted thought may still exist in the local copy.
• If you have arecent .brz backup, you can restore it via File › Restore from .brz to recover the earlier version containing that thought.

Please let us know if you find the thought in a local copy or backup, we can then help guide the recovery from there.

Best regards,

John
