Q: Deleted Notes Folder Keeps on Reappearing

Screen Shot 2016-08-26 at 6.48.32 PM.pngI have Notes sync on Mac, iPad and iPhone. It was running good. But for the last 3 weeks I have been encountering problems with deleted folder in notes keeps on reappearing. Its not any folder, just one specific folder (and together with its subfolders).

 

I have tried - log in and logout from icloud, restarting devices, turn on and off sync for notes, renaming folder (managed to rename, but will still reappear), adding notes and deleting them (no issues with deleting notes inside the folder though). I have tried all these on my mac, ipad, iphone and icloud web with no success.

 

Please help me anybody. Im tired of looking at this particular folder keeps on reappearing after deleting it. Help!

 

*the folder im trying to delete is the S folder

    How are you deleting the folder? On the Mac control - click/Delete?

    Long shot.

     

    Do a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives. Quit Notes.

     

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library and use the appropriate path to see if you can find and delete the Note.

     

    Yosemite:  User/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Core Data/External Records/C571FE8D-DB21-438E-AA58-16DD5901A331/Note/_records
