Best way to delete note from Ankihub?

Deck maintainer here. What’s the best way to delete a note type from ankihub?

Is there no simple way to delete them from the anki desktop app? It seems that I have to first suggest the note for delete, then merge, then actually delete it from my deck to be deleted from ankiweb.

I also noticed that if I delete the note from my deck (on ankiweb), there would be no way to delete it from ankihub since it’s won’t sync back locally. So I would have no way to suggest the note to be deleted. I would have no way other than logging into ankihub.com

If this is the official workflow, it’s honestly pretty involved to do something as simple as delete a note.

Hello,

Happily, this is not the official workflow. There are multiple ways to do it but the quickest would be the following below:

If you’re a maintainer you can follow the typical ‘suggest a change’ button:

At the bottom of the resulting screen is a ‘submit without review’ that prevents the need from having to manually approve a change:

Please let me know if that answers your question, and if there’s anything else I can help with. :slight_smile:

Thank you! This is great. What happens if I deleted a note from a local deck first?

There would be no way to suggest deleting the note since it’s not in my deck anymore. Do I have to go on ankihub.com for that? @Brian_BH

Yeah from there it adds a step.

If you go to ankihub.net and find your deck there should be a little search bar:

You can search by note ID, name, tag, etc.

Once you have the card pulled up that you want to modify, there’s a little ‘suggest a change’ button on the bottom right and the process is otherwise the same:
