If it doesn't work

I can't delete a note.

You can delete a standalone note only if you wrote it, it is unsigned, and it was created today. Consult notes cannot be deleted.

The note won't finalise.

Only templates set up for signing can be finalised. Save as a draft and ask your practice admin which template to use.
