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.

Tested: macOS 11.3.1.
