@Litus Sorry if you took it personal. You were not meant. There was another person in the thread repeatedly generalizing about EN, not contributing.

This forum can be used to vent some anger, but to an extend. The threads should still be legible, even if we all deviate from time to time.

Posting an issue or feature wish (as you did) is welcome and highly valued.

Not contributing, yet i have provided a solution to the problem...

So far i have contributed more to fixing the problem than any of you, i have provided a workaround because evernote are NOT going to fix your problem, and you consider me a troll? wow....

Making logical statements is not trolling, advising you not to pay a premium for a ***** service is not trolling either..

I didn't need to, thanks - and I wasn't arguing with you,  just envying your optimism...

Fair enough, good luck with getting it fixed 😀

LOL - do you have any appreciation of the history of Windows 1992-2020?  Evernote doesn't even register on the Microsoft scale of customer disregard...

How is this even a viable argument? a company the size of Microsoft is going to have more complaints and more praise than Evernote ever will do simply due to the size difference.

Piece of advice: Stop wasting your time chasing Evernote expecting them to fix problems they clearly have no interest in fixing, this thread is over a year old 🤣🤣

You could of implemented my fix a year ago and got on with your life....

Just WRT this, and out of genuine (if somewhat skeptical) curiosity, are you finding Microsoft to be responsive to customer complaints? What's their support like?

Well i don't know because i never have to contact them, never had any issues with the product.

They are probably better than evernote.

Evernote need to fix it so it's automatic. Your fix is long winded and needs to be repeated whenever you get a note that gets unshared. 

Yeah they do need to fix it, but it doesn't look like they are bothering.

So you will have to stick to my "long winded" fix which is really not long winded at all😆

Or you could use a completely free product which is far superior called Microsoft One Note, that's what i did.

No way would i pay a premium for such diabolic levels of support 🤣

Has anyone here that is moaning about this issue bothered to follow my fix?

You can get rid of notes shared to you by someone else via a chat, i have just worked out the steps required to do it.

***This requires rebuilding your Database we do this by renaming our old one as we still have it just in-case***

*** Before doing any of the steps perform a Sync to backup your current notes ***

Steps are as follows:

1. Delete the Work chat that contains the shared note

2. Rename the Database that contains your notes

3. Sign back into your account and download your notes

Step 1. Go to "View" then go to "Work Chat" and in the list should be the Chats, delete the chat that the note was shared from

Step 2. Go to "Tools" then to go "Options" under "General" scroll down and look at "Evernote local files" and view the file path

Go to the location in Windows and open the "Databases" folder and you should see your Database file the file will be named "yourevernoteaccountname.exb"

Close down Ever Note and rename the file and change .exb to .old if it does not let you, you need to either go into task manager and kill the Evernote process or restart your Machine. Renaming the Database extension to .old allows you to retain a backup of your notes just incase. The image below is a before and after for the one file and how the name should look.

Step 3. Open Evernote, you will get a prompt asking for your password, click cancel and then go to "File" and "Add another user..." Sign into your account and perform a sync, you should download your notes and the shared note should now be gone.

Check and ensure you have all your notes, if you do go back to the file location in Windows and delete the database file you named to .old
