It’s your antivirus who is deleting the note.

I don’t use antivirus software.

Can you post a screenshot of the sync version history for that note

@WhiteNoise ah you were right. The vault is synced with another notebook that has an antivirus system enabled. It must be that notebook that deletes the file. I didn’t think of that …
