So if you're been frustrated at figuring out how to fix this issue, and you come across this post, you're fucking welcome. From there, right-click each notebook and then click 'Clear from Recent.' Doing so will delete this notebook from the 'More Notebooks.' section of the OneNote 365 app. Under Recent, you'll find the same list of deleted notebooks. Microsoft expects people to download an older version of OneNote to fix this issue? Sorry, but no.įortunately, I finally found the answer. Sorry to cuss, but what a fucking joke of an answer. The answer I've seen online (and from Microsoft) is to open OneNote 2016 and clear it through there.

No, you can't reopen the notebook at that point (you'll get an error), but the title of the notebook still remains, and if you ended up deleting a lot of notebooks, having a list of previously-deleted notebooks under the 'More notebooks.' section can be pretty frustrating. For those that have OneNote 365, when you delete a notebook by 'closing' the notebook on OneNote and then subsequently delete the notebook from OneDrive, the notebook still appears under the 'More Notebooks.' list in the OneNote application. Right-click the folder, and then click Delete.Just wanted to post the answer here because there doesn't seem to be a legitimate answer online anywhere, including Microsoft support websites, which are full of the most useless, incompetent customer support reps I've ever seen. Go to your shared notebook (for example, use File Explorer if the shared notebook is stored on a network file share, or use Internet Explorer to view your notebook folders on OneDrive). (Shared notebooks have a synchronization icon shown next to their name.) In the Notebooks list in OneNote, right-click the name of the shared notebook that you want to delete, and then click Close this Notebook. To remove the deleted files from your computer, right-click the Recycle Bin on your computer’s desktop, and then click Empty Recycle Bin.ĭelete a OneNote notebook from a shared locationīefore deleting a notebook that you’ve shared with others, let everyone who has permission to view or edit the notebook know that you’re planning to remove the notebook, or they may lose important work. In the OneNote Notebooks folder, right-click the name of the notebook you want to delete, and then click Delete. In File Explorer, navigate to your Documents (or My Documents) folder, and then double-click OneNote Notebooks. If you know you’re never going to need a notebook again, you can delete it from your computer. Select the deleted OneNote page, and right-click on it. There, you’ll see the list of Deleted Pages with their names. Next, go to History and click Notebook Recycle Bin.
