We use a lot of notes in drawings, many of which are linked to part properties.  Inconveniently, every time one of us uses one of these notes in a drawing, it is added to the Styles drop-down menu so that when we try to use that note again in a re-used drawing, SWX refuses to permit it.

This is wretchedly awkward, and working around it takes WAY longer than simply not having any got-damm note styles.  Nobody at this entire company uses them, so we'd like to abolish them entirely.  Is this possible?  How can I disable note styles or otherwise remove all of them from a drawing?

Solidworks fail #6486 (if you're counting)
