Click "Archive note"

linkDelete Note
This option will delete the note from your Amplenote account. If you deleted a note in error, you have a few seconds to undo the action using the popup at the bottom of the note window.

If you've shared the note with another user, the note will remain in their account unless you remove the share prior to deleting the note.
