Recovering deleted To-Do task - How?
I accidentially just deleted one of my Microsoft To-Do tasks. I cannot see the trash bin. Is there any?

I found the deleted Tasks/list if I export all the To Do's from Outlook.com
https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/options/general/export
After 2-4 days:-
OR
After copying the missing Tasks/list to Tasks in my POP-connected O365 account in Outlook (desktop app), the restored Tasks/list still doesn’t reappear in MS To Do!!! AGH!
Microsoft Support recently replied to me:-
If you deleted some tasks and want to restore them, you could restore the tasks here https://outlook.live.com/mail/deleteditems. If you delete the tasks by deleting the list directly, all the tasks in that list will be permanently deleted and are unable to restore.
It is easy to delete a whole List of Tasks by mistake, so I'm very surprised that the basic function to restore a List and its Tasks is missing.
LLLO365 if you google for unable to recover task from outlook there’s quite a few having the same problem. I did exactly the same as another user described, I was trying to move a task with sub tasks elsewhere and then deleted the copy and couldn’t recover either that or the original, just disappeared completely
