Welcome to Android Central.

What device do you have? Is this an app that came preinstalled on your device, or is it something that you installed from Play Store?

Welcome to Android Central! Sounds like an LG phone. What do you mean that they "are all now on phone under all memos"? How are you seeing that?

In the future, I would strongly recommend using a note-taking app that automatically syncs to the cloud or backs up somewhere, like Google Keep Notes, OneNote, or Evernote. The manufacturer-installed note-taking app (like Quick Memo) typically only saves your notes to the phone only, and if something happens to those files or to the phone, then they're gone, so I always advise people not to use them.

Unfortunately, LG QuickMemos stores its files in a protected folder that you cannot access.
You can manually export the files to a user-controlled folder, but this is not an ideal solution.

Any attempt to fix any file related problems will probably need to involve LG Tech Support.

I was a happy user of QM for a while, but the lack of control over the files was a problem for me. I did switch to Google Keep Notes due to the server backups and the ability for my non-LG devices to read the files.

I was able to restore all my notes from a discontinued from my old android phone when moving to a new android phone. Here's how: On my old android phone I went to my old, discontinued "my Notes" app. On each category of notes, I went in and highlighted all the notes, then chose "share". When I did, "Keep notes" was one of the options. I simply chose that app. When I looked on the "Keep notes" app on my new phone and all the notes I had copied were there! (I did have to speak in a new title in "keep notes", but that was easy too.)

Whatever you do, don't install it on the device you've lost files, as that will further damage any data you wish to recover. And check for data recovery tool in play store. You may recover some data.
