Sometimes the information in a cell in your spreadsheet requires some extra explanation. There are a couple of different approaches that you can use to convey that information, but one of the options in Google Sheets is to add notes to cells. These notes are then indicated by a small black triangle at the upper-right corner of the cell.
But those notes might only be necessary for you or your team, and you might want to get rid of them before distributing your spreadsheet to others. Fortunately you can quickly remove all of the notes from your spreadsheet in Google Sheets by following our guide below.

How to Remove All of the Notes from a Spreadsheet in Google Sheets
The steps in this article were performed in Google Chrome, for the Web browser version of Google Sheets. Following this tutorial will cause all of the notes in the cells in your worksheet to be cleared. If you would prefer to clear notes from a smaller selection, then you will need to individually select those cells (by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard as you click them).
Step 1: Go to your Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive and open the spreadsheet from which you would like to clear the notes.
Step 2: Click the gray box to the left of the column A heading and above the row 1 heading. This selects the entire sheet. As mentioned earlier, you can select smaller groups of cells instead if you only want to clear notes from some of your cells.
Step 3: Click the Edit tab at the top of the window.
Step 4: Select the Clear notes option at the bottom of this menu.
