Deleting OneNote Notebooks

When it comes to managing your digital workspace, deleting unnecessary notebooks in OneNote can be a great way to declutter and stay organized. But before you start deleting, it's important to understand who can delete notebooks and how to do it safely.

In OneNote, administrators have the highest level of access and authority. They can delete any file, folder, or notebook, including those created by other members of their team. This means that if you're an administrator in your organization's OneNote setup, you'll have the ability to remove notebooks without any restrictions.

However, regular team members are limited in their ability to delete notebooks. They can only delete notebooks they created themselves or notebooks that have been shared with them by another user. If you're a regular team member and want to delete a notebook, make sure it falls into one of these two categories before proceeding.

If you need to delete a notebook, the process is relatively straightforward. Here's how:

1. Select the notebook you want to delete by clicking on it in OneNote.

2. Click the three dots next to the notebook name and select 'Delete' from the drop-down menu.

3. Confirm that you want to delete the notebook.

Alternatively, you can also access your notebooks through OneDrive. To do this:

1. Log into OneDrive and navigate to the 'My files' section.

2. Click on 'Notebooks' in the left-hand sidebar.

If you've accidentally deleted a notebook and need to recover it, don't worry! OneNote allows you to recover deleted notebooks for a limited time after deletion. To learn more about recovering deleted notebooks, be sure to check out our step-by-step guide.
