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://microsoft-todo.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?p=web&s=setup&f=exporting-your-microsoft-to-do-account

     

     

    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!

LLLO365 Thank you for this! I find this incredibly frustrating as I moved tasks from a temporary list to my permanent one, they moved over so I deleted that temp list and suddenly they were totally gone.. so basically To Do messed up and now I have no idea what important tasks I needed to do ugh

Seriously, Microsoft To Do has screwed up. This EXACT SAME THING happened to me. I have lost so many important reminders. Literally despairing right now. And the fact that they don't have backups for situations like this. What the hell
