My Notes is showing 80 gb of storage I have deleted the app, restarted the phone but it hasnt changed phone says storage is full
Windows, Windows 6
I had a similar problem. Notes was taking 15G on my phone but only 9G on my iPad. This was choking my phone restricting updates etc. I deleted the app on my phone but only freed about 2G of space. I then reinstalled and deleted again each time I found I was getting a little more space. Finally when I had it down to under 1G (from 15) it asked me to connect it to iCloud again. I did this and after the notes eventually restored its now taking the same storage as it is on my iPad. I’m thinking it has worked. It’s like old cache files were maintained to speed up a restore.

My notes app was taking 18 GB, but iCloud storage for notes showed only 250MB. I turned off iCloud storage for Notes and started the cycle "to delete and re-install Notes app" and each time it freed up 500MB
had a similar issue, notes on icloud couple of MB, on iPhone 14+GB. Offloading and reinstalling the app reduced the usage to a couple of 100MB again.
