Hi,
I use a sofisticate integration between MindManager and Evernote thanks to Zapier.
There is anyway to elimintate existing notes in Evernote with Zapier or as back up solution to move existing notes in a specified Notebook?

As Troy mentioned, there isn’t a “Delete Notes” Action in the Evernote integration currently.
It also appears based on his research this may not be feasible through the main Evernote app so it may not make sense to create a feature request for this at the moment.
Why can't I delete a (note, notebook, tag)?
Despite being defined in the Evernote API reference, calling any of the functions beginning with
expungewill result in aPERMISSION_DENIEDerror. These functions will permanently remove their respective parameters from the user’s Evernote account and are not available to third-party developers. You can, however, calldeleteNoteto move a Note to the Trash.
That said, in the meantime, as he also was kind enough to point out you could potentially use the Evernote API and Webhooks by Zapier if you’re comfortable! Here’s a few resources to get you started if you’d like to give that a shot:

Hi
Good question.
The Evernote Zap app does not include the desired actions.
Most apps won’t expose their destructive endpoints via their Zap app on purpose to prevent accidental misuse.
You’d likely have to try to use the Evernote API: https://dev.evernote.com/doc/reference/NoteStore.html#Fn_NoteStore_deleteNote
