Notes & Files, difference?

aferrand
Hi,
Quick vocabulary question: I would like to clean up my Zotero by removing all the attached files that are taking up too much space, but keeping my notes.
Are notes considered attached files? In other words, if I click on ‘Purge Storage in my library’, will I lose all my notes?

    Notes aren't files, but you also shouldn't be using "Purge Storage in My Library" unless it's for exactly what it says: "Use this to free up space for group libraries you own after disabling file syncing for My Library or switching to WebDAV storage."

    If you're trying to free up space for your personal library, you need to actually delete attachments and empty the trash.

    Many thanks for your quick answer: I'll delete attachments one by one then.

    I think you should be able to construct an Advanced Search for say "PDF" and then be able to delete them in bulk.
