    Under Settings, see the offline copy kept on this device and choose Clear offline data if it is a shared computer.

What happens next

Your old notes are in Notes, and you always have a way to take a copy with you.

Questions

Can I export while offline?

No — export needs a connection. Try again once you are back online.
