(Archived) Delete items off my To Do List

[Judy P 0]

I am new to EN - I created a shopping list with the check boxes. How do I delete the items I checked without deleting the entire Note?

Not sure which OS you are using.

In Windows, I just use the backspace key to erase the text, but if the checkbox is checked, I don't need to delete anything.

When the checkbox is checked, it means the task has been completed or the grocery item has been purchased.

You delete the line containing completed checkbox. The checkbox is just a special symbol mixed in with the text of the item.

But if you just leave them there the list gets longer and longer for no reason! :-) I think I will backspace from now on. Yes, I am on Windows and have an iPhone. Thanks for the help.

I would not recommend that practice (adding to the note every week). Evernote is more powerful if you complete your shopping (all the boxes are checked), then start a new note with the new items you need next week.

There are some nice apps for mobile devices which specialize on the art of grocery shopping. I prefer Grocery Gadgets

I find it frutrating that EN doesn't have this featrue either.

 

 

For To Do lists as one example, it would be nice to have a feature that deleted an item that was checked or moved it to a completed page of items.
