Marvin has several ways to recover deleted items. If you just deleted the item, try pressing Ctrl/Cmd + Z to undo.

This tool doesn't yet provide a way to re-create the item, but it may be helpful for remembering what the note was or when it was due! Please contact support to let us know whether it worked for you.
