How to Remove All Notes From PowerPoint Presentations

When making a PowerPoint presentation, it can be helpful to add additional notes to remind you of important information that is not included in the slides. Adding notes to slides in PowerPoint is the best way to provide reminders for yourself that the audience cannot see.

However, there may be times when you want to remove the notes from your slides in order to share the presentation with others. Removing notes from each individual slide is relatively easy, but what if you have a large presentation with notes on multiple slides? Here’s how to delete all notes in PowerPoint that you shouldn’t miss.

Now let’s take a look at how to remove notes from one, multiple, or all slides in PowerPoint on your computer.

Step 1: Open your presentation, find and select the slide that contains the note you want to delete.

Step 2: On the ribbon toolbar, click the View tab.

Step 3: Next, click the Notes button in the Show group at the bottom.

Step 4: At the bottom of the screen, you will now see the note inserted into the current slide. Your task is simply to highlight all the text in that note by clicking and dragging the left mouse button over all the contents of the note.

If it’s just a single line of note, you can simply click three times to select all.

Step 5: Finally, click the Delete button to delete that note from the current slide. Repeat the same steps if you want to delete additional notes on other slides.
