(Archived) Finding Blank/Empty Notes?

[ln899 3]

A simple question, but I haven't been able to find an answer by searching the forum:

Is there a way to search my Evernote database to find and delete any blank or empty notes?

Thanks! LN

In the WIndows client, at least, you can select all notes, and then sort your list by size. At that point, the smallest notes should be at the top of your list. Start there and delete any blank ones. Note that some notes that have an empty note body may have other metadata like SourceURL. I don't know how that affects listed note sizes.

Thanks, jefito. This was helpful. Also,building on your suggestion, searching for "untitled notes" and sorting them by size caught a few more blanks.

You are correct, it seems that the presence of metadata can make an otherwise blank note larger than notes with small bits of text.

Cheers! LN
