With iCloud Notes on, iCloud rather than the iCloud backup will store these notes. With a good Internet connection, these notes will also sync and update to iCloud.com. After activating iCloud Notes, if you delete notes on your iPhone, iCloud.com will also wipe out the same notes from it.    

Step 1. Click “Settings” > “General” > “Reset” > “Erase All Content and Settings”.
