Is it possible to view Notes folders using the Files app? I’ve been trying to learn the Files app but when I attempt to use its browse function I don’t see anything. I thought I’d try to view Notes folders given their hierarchical design but I see nothing. I’ve tried Google but there’s hardly anything that addresses my issue. Same thing with the user guide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
iPad, iPadOS 16
Tetrap0d ~ Apple's Shortcuts app can access both Files and Notes folders...
For example, you can place an icon on the Home Screen which will open the Downloads folder with a single tap:
The above is a simple custom Shortcut I created consisting of two actions: Folder and Open File:
...Then:
Add a shortcut to the Home Screen on iPhone or iPad

No.
"I’ve been trying to learn the Files app but when I attempt to use its browse function I don’t see anything."
Have you saved any files to iCloud Drive or locally to your iPad? ...If so, they should appear in the Files app.

Try searching Apple's Knowledge Base.

Notes created and saved within the Notes App can only be viewed within the Notes App itself.
The native Files App cannot access the Notes App storage at all.
Thanks for confirming what I suspected.
I was able to delete files from iCloud.com. Also from the Files app after I saw the select button.
Thanks very much for responding to my question.
Awesome you don’t have to worry about it
