If you are using Dreamweaver you can also prevent it from happening again by going to:

Site > Manage Sites > $SITENAME > Advanced Settings > Design Notes:
Uncheck - "Maintain Design Notes"
Click "Clean up Design Notes"

And save.
But 'Clean up Design Notes' didn't actually work for me, hence why I'm using this useful one-liner.
However the unchecking does successfully prevent it from creating further _notes folders.

Thanks :)

Dreamweaver?! We're about to approach 2021!

Gotta start somewhere, Dreamweaver was my training wheels while I was self-learning web dev.
I now use Intellij IDEA Ultimate and VS Code exclusively, but Dreamweaver was a nice interactive way to learn the majority of basic features available in HTML and CSS.

But I will agree, after using more dynamic elements and DOM scripting, Dreamweaver is horrible; design view is broken for most newer CSS features, live mode stops working properly out of nowhere and Dreamweavers design view fails to work nicely with document/site roots & relative paths.

The best analogy is a bike with training wheels: You can't go fast, turn, or do fancy tricks. But it shows you the basics until you're ready for the big wheels [ IDE's ]
