A huge thank you to all paid subscribers and many thanks also to those who bought me a coffee. Taming the Trunk is 100% reader supported, no ads or commission links and your support is really appreciated.
Unrelated by just in case you have a suggestion. The the speed of Evernote has increased significantly and is pretty good now. However, I quite often find that a linked note will take ages to open if at all (sometime Open in a New Window will fix it somehow) which drives me a bit spare. If I recreate the link then normal speed so seems to be related to some change they made in linking perhaps? Don't want to have to fix all the links one by one so wonder if there is some other approach that would help - perhaps reinstalling or something? Thanks
Update - reinstalled Evernote as per their instructions and that seems to have fixed the problem. And seems to be a bit snappier now also so could be an option for anyone experiencing any lags etc
Good news. The latest version release notes had a mention of a deep linking bug being fixed so maybe that was it or connected to it. As far as I know there's ongoing work on internal linking.
With Evernote's limitation to being able to select only 100 notes at a time, it makes any of this cleanup very time consuming, especially if you haven't done it (ever). For example, I have over 14,000 notes in my trash dating back to 2008. :-(

I really don't trash notes much at all even if there are probably plenty that could be trashed.
For curiosities sake I too a look at my trash folder, there are 205 notes in there and in looking at them I was confused for a moment.
You might be interested in this little tidbit, especially if you use the "note merge" feature.
When you merge notes, a new note is created and the original notes are trashed.
Thus my confusion in looking at notes in the trash, "hey wait a minute, I need that... oh OK, it's in a new note, phew!"
Ah. I did not know that. Very interesting. I'll check trash next time I merge.
Many thanks for the support.
Ironic that the desktop app has a capacity limitation that the mobile apps don't. I hope the 100 note desktop selection limit disappears soon.
Yup. A lot of folk would like that. Deleting 1000 trash notes earlier was a little painful!

Mobile is unlimited multi-select which might help.
