Hi @gazumped. In response to your recent post: As far as I know, there is still no desktop client for Linux. You describe a viable work-around, but if Evernote is then effectively being used for saving text files and can't actually provide a note-taking service, it's not a productivity tool but is more effort than it is worth.

This issue just happened again. I'm on a VPN in a coffee shop and for some reason the WiFi connection was lost, requiring me to reconnect with the VPN. Multiple versions of the note I was working on were generated and I even lost some work in the process. I was seriously considering upgrading my Evernote account (my last subscription lapsed), but now I am looking at other solutions for my notes instead. Until there is an app for Ubuntu or this problem with the web UI is resolved, I cannot rely upon Evernote.

Well I only managed to do the necessary bulk delete because I had an Android device lying around. I would have been stuck otherwise. The real issue of Evernote generating multiple notes from one note -- not duplicates but historical snaphots -- has not been resolved. I am just waiting to see if it happens again in the hope that I can replicate it and identify the conditions that caused it.

Hi Gazumped. Sorry for any confusion. It was possible to delete individual notes in the web interface, but it was not possible to select multiple notes and delete them in bulk. The former option would have been laborious, so I instead opened Evernote with the Android app, where it was possible to select and delete up to 20 at a time. Fortunately I had over estimated how many historical snapshot notes were generated -- there were in fact about 40 -- so I only had to do this twice.

Ubuntu 16.04. Firefox 54.0. I just wrote a note over the course of about 10 minutes and ended up with about 100 different versions representing historical snapshots of the note as it was being written. That's bad enough, but now I can't seem to find a way to delete the 99 older versions of the note that I don't want to appear in my notebook. I have a fast (fibre) internet connection and no obvious drop-outs. This was not a collaborative note; only I had access. I also did not have Evernote open in any other applications or tabs, to the best of my knowledge. Fixes, suggestions or work-arounds for the (Ubuntu) web UI would be very welcome. Thanks.
