Rune,
It depends what kind of note
If you want Events and not Event Notes, I don't think you can do that
without editing the Gedcom.
If you mean General, Research and/or Medical Notes they can be omitted
via the Checkboxes to exclude things. I think here Regular Notes means
General. Are you saying that isn't working?
If you mean Notes associated with Sources, you can omit Text and
Comments if they're not marked for inclusion in a citation by using the
Other Options tab and unchecking to Override Source Options.

A question:
How do you prevent the notes from being exported?
I’ve done as Cathy suggested
Customize-> Export items-> Exportthese items and removed NOTE and
MNOTE without success, all notes are still exåported
So now I use "brute force" with Notepad++-, I’ve created a macro that
removes all lines starting with a digit,followed by a space and then
NOTE, CONTor CONC .
Search for ^\d\s\b(NOTE|CONT|CONC)\b.*\R
Repalacewith nothing
it works and my gedcom shrinks from 578529 to 491189 lines

You don't use privacy to strip out notes etc from a gedcom, you
use the Gedcom customise options. They control which gedcom tags
are exported. See the Customise button on the right. This includes
an exclude option for address/phone and Notes of various kinds. I
don't know whether that is just mailing addresses or event addresses.
It's true that Ancestry etc will privatise the living for you but
you can choose not to include the living in your gedcom using the
options in the Privacy section in the Gedcom export. I think this
is a better option.
When exporting for Ancestry I generally just include the vital
events with their sources. You can do this by using Basic and then
adding the tags SOUR and PAGE.
I also go to the second tab headed Other Options on the main
export screen and uncheck to override source options as I don't
want to include my source detail text OR sources that I have
chosen not to include in reports.
If you don't have a gedcom viewer program and find the gedcom
difficult to understand when opened in Notepad (as it's a plain
text file), you can import your gedcom to a new Legacy file to see
what you are actually exporting.

Hi ____
I would like to upload my FT to Ancestry and other websites as a
Gedcom file.____
I am reasonably certain I have stripped the records of any notes
or sources by using the privacy tools on legacy. ____
However I note that the addresses entered in the birth, death
and burial records are still showing____
I would like to know if these addresses will stripped or removed
when the file is uploaded. ____
I know that dates of persons still living are stripped and names
marked as private.____
