OneNote is a powerful digital notebook application that allows users to create, organize, and share their notes across different devices. With its user-friendly interface and a wide range of features, OneNote has become a popular choice for students, professionals, and individuals who want to keep their ideas and thoughts in one place.
While OneNote offers a seamless note-taking experience, there may come a time when you no longer need a particular notebook and want to delete it to declutter your workspace. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of how to delete a notebook in OneNote, ensuring that you can easily manage and organize your digital notebooks efficiently.
To access OneNote, simply locate the Start menu on your device or look for the application’s icon on your desktop. Give it a click to open the OneNote app and get started.
Once OneNote is opened, you can easily locate the notebook you want to delete by scanning through the list of your existing notebooks.
Using your mouse, locate the Notebook you want to delete and right-click on its name. This will open a context menu where you can access the option to delete the Notebook.
After right-clicking the Notebook name, select “Close this Notebook” from the drop-down or pop-up menu. This action will remove the Notebook from your OneNote list, without permanently deleting it from your account.
To delete a Notebook completely, ensure that you delete it from OneDrive as OneNote synchronizes all notebooks to your OneDrive account.
After accessing OneDrive, simply navigate to the Notebooks folder where all of your OneNote notebooks are stored, and click on it to access and manage your notebook files.
Once inside the folder, navigate to the specific notebook you had previously closed in OneNote, and then simply right-click on it to display a set of options.
In the options, choose “Delete” to permanently remove the notebook from your device. This action will ensure the notebook is deleted completely and cannot be recovered.
To ensure complete removal, navigate to the Recycle Bin in OneDrive, find the notebook, right-click, and select “Delete” once more.
After clicking “Delete”, a confirmation dialog box may appear seeking your affirmation to proceed with the deletion. Once confirmed, the notebook will be permanently removed from both OneNote and OneDrive, erasing it completely.
