You can manage most such Notes via the Notes tab of the Individual Property Box. Click on each Note in the top pane, and its text is displayed in lower pane below. The Type of Note is shown to the right. Use Add Note button to add a local Note to Individual or Family record, or a Note Record to Individual record. To delete a local Note or a link to a Note Record use the X button. You are correct that unlinking a Note Record does not delete it. You must use the Family record Notes tab to add or unlink a Note Record for a Family Record. If you want to convert all such single link Note Records to local Notes then use the 'Clean Up Notes' Plugin. To delete all the zero link Note Records, first sort on the Links column by clicking its header. Open the Named List Pane, select all the zero Link records, and Add to a Named List. Then right-click on that Named List and choose Delete Listed Records.

To reach the spouse family property box from the spouses and children tab of individual in focus click the line under the individuals in focus which usually contains the marriage details. The links to notes records for an individual and family are in in the individuals property box.
