Zombie folders in Simplenote
This issue is solved by the new Metanota v2.1 by using the "new" Simplenote API.

Old explanation

It's nothing I can do in Metanota to prevent that and deleting and reinstalling it would not help, as the "zombie" folders will be sent back by Simplenote over and over again.
A simple test can be done easily :
- open your browser, go to SimpleNote's webapp site and login as usual
- open your browser, go to SimpleNote's webapp site and login as usual
- in the same browser window copy and paste the following URL in the address bar : https://simple-note.appspot.com/api2/tags
- you will receive back a list of tags/folders you have in your account, more or less in the same way Metanota is receiving them itself
- check the list and you will find, most probably, one or more of your "zombie" folders
I've managed to do two things to get rid of "zombie" folders :
- write to Simplenote support and ask them to fix the folders. After a couple of days the offending folders were gone for good.
- from the Web interface export your notes to a local CSV/XML file, delete your account, create it back and import your notes form the backup. I've did that recently and all the zombie folders problems were gone (for a while)
