Duplicate Notes

I normally enter Notes as Local Notes but I now find that all of my Individuals for whom I had Notes have sprouted a duplicate, as a Note Record. This may well have happened while I have been doing a recent Merge of two trees, or equally it might have occurred while I exported a Gedcom file (and subsequently imported under a new Project name). Whichever way I have transgressed, my question is - how can I delete all the Note Records in one fell swoop, without ploughing through the Individuals separately (and I have over 3000 individuals)?

Before you delete anything, do make sure you do still have all the local notes! Without knowing how or when the Note Records were created, you need to be sure that they are indeed duplicates of the local notes, not replacements for them.
To delete all the Note Records at once, go to the Notes tab of the Records Window. Select all the records by clicking on the first, then shift+click on the last. Then use Edit>Add to Named List, to add all the records to a new named list. In the Named Lists pane, right-click on that list and select Delete Listed Records.
