How can system notes be removed?

In the context of system notes within NetSuite, it is important to understand how these notes function. System notes serve as a comprehensive audit log that tracks changes made to records. When a record is modified, this log captures the details of changes including the user who made the change, the date and time of the change, and the specific field that was altered.

The correct answer indicates that system notes can be removed by deleting the associated record. This is accurate because when a record is deleted, all associated system notes are also purged from the system. This aligns with the principle that system notes are tied to records; if the record itself no longer exists, the notes that tracked its changes also cannot remain in the system.

The option regarding directly editing the note is not applicable, as system notes are not editable. They are designed to maintain a clear and unalterable record of changes for integrity purposes. The notion that system notes cannot be removed is incorrect in the context of associating them with the deletion of their parent records. Lastly, resetting the database affects all records and thus does not provide a targeted method for removing specific system notes.
