Hello oi33,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that Notes are using more storage than expected. we are happy to help.


Let’s start by using the steps here to restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support After your iPhone has fully restarted, does the storage appear as expected for notes?

  1. "Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."



What is the exact iOS version installed on your iPhone?


Let us know if you have further questions.


Take care.
