# How do I find big attachments stored in Apple Notes?

In **Notes**, choose **View → Show Attachments Browser** to see photos, scans, documents and other attachments across your notes. Select one and use **Show in Note** to find and delete it.

If you use iCloud for Notes, deleting removes the attachment on all your devices; deleted notes stay in **Recently Deleted** for a while before the space is freed.
