One way to delete all your Tomboy notes from the server is to go to the web UI (https://one.ubuntu.com/notes) and delete notes there (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Tutorials/Notes#Delete%20a%20note).

If you have a lot of notes that you want to delete from the server, then you can try this:

  1. Quit Tomboy
  2. Open a terminal session (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and run:
      cp -r ~/.local/share/tomboy ~/Desktop/
      rm -r ~/.local/share/tomboy
  3. Open Tomboy (all the notes should be gone)
  4. Synchronize notes: Tools->Synchronize Notes
  5. Check the web site to make sure all the notes are gone: https;//one.ubuntu.com/notes
  6. Quit Tomboy
  7. In the terminal session run:
      cp -r ~/Desktop/tomboy ~/.local/share/
  8. Open Tomboy (all your notes should be back)

If you want to sync all your notes back up to the server, then you can continue with:

  9. Synchronize notes: Tools->Synchronize Notes
10. Check the web site to make sure all the notes are there: https;//one.ubuntu
