Well, I stumbled over the same "problem" when trying to reproduce bug#334357
with 4.13.1.
I wanted to do it with a new user to not pollute my Akonadi settings/database,
so I copied over my user's  ~/.kde4/share/apps/knotes/ but no notes were
migrated.
Then I noticed that there's no actual kresource defined (because it was a fresh
account).

Hm. The akonotes resource should create the folder manually when syncing the
notes to the disk,
Akonadi is a cache between the applications (knotes in this case) and the data
itself (i.e. the notes).
You could try to synchronize the notes manually in akonadiconsole, right-click
on the resource on the "Browser" tab.

Probably in the Akonadi database.
You should be able to remove them in knotes and in akonadiconsole.
And remove the unwanted resources as well, either in akonadiconsole or
Systemsettings->Personal Information->Akonadi Resources Configuration.

That dialog appears when a conflict is detected between the cached version and
the file on disk (f.e. if the file is changed by a different application).
I saw that a lot in KMail in earlier versions, seems to be some timing issue.
Select the version you want to keep and it should work.

You could try to clean up your akonadi database with "akonadictl fsck" or even
"akonadictl vacuum".

But that's completely unrelated to this bug report now.
If you cannot get it to work, please file a new bug about your problem(s).
Or ask in the forums.
