I’m glad it works well for your system, but this is not a new complaint—do some quick searches on “Recent Notes” and Evernote dating back to 2010 or 2012 or so, and you will see that many users have no need for this section. In fact so many users have complained that they updated the desktop version to allow you to turn it off, but for some reason they kept it in their iOS version. There is an option to turn off Recent Notebooks, but not Recent Notes—if it is reasonable enough for Folders, why not Notes? I use a mobile as well as an iPad—I don’t need the whole top section of my Shortcuts, which I use for tags, occupied by a feature I will never use.
