One Note notes have disappeared

Question

Hello,
I recently removed some preview cards in OneNote, but I’m not sure how to locate the notes they were linked to. Are these notes still accessible somewhere in the notebook, and if so, how can I find them? I’ve tried searching through sections manually but haven’t had much luck. Any tips or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
