deleting notes in pdfs in previews

i'm not being able to delete the large version of sticky notes in pdfs in preview. they are staying on screen and "floating to the next page as i scroll." any hints here?

Are you opening the Inspector (⌘+i) and under that panel, select the pencil tool. There will be a list of annotations and select the Note annotation. Press the delete key. It will vanish in the Inspector but may linger in the PDF until you click outside of it on a blank area of the PDF.
