This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Sticky Notes delete confirmation for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The Microsoft Sticky Notes app is the simple way to quickly save something for later, so you can stay in the flow. With Sticky Notes, you can create notes, type, ink or add a picture, add text formatting, stick them to the desktop, move them around there freely, close them to the Notes list, and sync them across devices and apps like OneNote Mobile, Microsoft Launcher for Android, and Outlook for Windows.
Note deletion is permanent. It cannot be undone.
You can minimize the chance of deleting notes by mistake by making sure you've turned on the note deletion warning.
