When I’d migrated everything I wanted, I could export the remaining notes to an export file and archive it so that I could access it if I ever needed it. I could then plan my attack and over time begin migrating those notes that I wanted to keep to the new account.

With this in mind, I’ve been considering starting from scratch with Evernote, taking all of the lessons I’ve learned and applying them anew. Out of 12,000 notes that’s less than 1,200.

It is the remaining 10% (or less) that I interact with on an ongoing basis. For some of those notes that is once in over 10 yerrs. I’ve looked perhaps once at another 10% of the notes.They get in automatically through services like FileThis and I’ve never had need to access those notes. I’ve never looked at 80% of the notes.For a while now, I have wanted to clean up my Evernote instance.
