Sometimes a Task I know I have in Toodledo is no longer findable. I am aware of the function that allows me to see and restore deleted tasks (for up to 30 days).

The Task in question is not found in deleted Tasks and I know I would not have deleted that Task as it was an ongoing item that contained a lot of detailed, important information.

Is there anything I can do to recover that Task? Is there some sort of backup folder somewhere on my Windows 10 machine that may have a record of it?

To my knowledge, the data is not cached on the local worksation or mobile device. If you perform backups of your data, you can choose the option to restore your database. However, I don't think you can selectively restore. You basically take the app and your data back to the state it was in when you took that backup. Maybe that was yesterday or last week or 3 years ago.

I found that when I can't find a task, it's usually because I set something incorrectly. Maybe the start date is in 2026 instead of 2025, or I've applied a tag or context that I didn't expect. If you use the Saved Search feature, you may be able to surface something that is unexpectedly hidden.

Keep in mind, Future tasks can only seen 6 months in the future. If you set a due date more than 6 months out, you won't see it until it falls within that threshold. That may even be a shorter period of time for the free account. I don't recall that for sure.
