Betreff: Bulk delete empty notes

[bw-ipim]

Hello all,

I've just imported some contact and notes data into HubSpot - about 600 records. Only about 5% of my contacts have specific notes on them, the rest are blank.

I had assumed that when importing, only those cells that contained text would be imported as notes. However, it turns out notes were created for the empty cells as well. I now have over 500 empty notes attached to those contacts.

Does anyone know how I can bulk delete these notes, without having to delete all the contacts and start again?

Thanks in advance.

@bw-ipim Ben, while there's no fix for deleting the blank records, its might be helpful to know why it happened in the first place.  When uploading notes.  In addition to uploading the note contents you have to also upload a data upon which to associate the note too or the "Activity Date."  I learned the hard way and now also have a mess of notes in the CRM. 

FYI... Hubspot has a very specific date format you will need to follow when uploading dates too (MM/DD/YYYY).

Hi @bw-ipim,

Thanks for reaching out.

At the moment it's not possible to bulk delete notes.

However, there's already an idea on our ideas forum (https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Bulk-delete-Notes/idi-p/295926).

If you want to get updates I would encourage you to participate in this post by upvoting and commenting on the post.

Take care!

Hi @JessicaH,

Not sure if you saw but I actually commented/upvoted that one already. Hopefully gets some attention!

Thanks,
