When you close a notebook, it doesn\u2019t permanently remove the content within that notebook\u2014it simply removes it from the list of available notebooks in the OneNote application. The data within that notebook can still be accessed from the source file.<\/p>\n<p>To permanently remove the content from existence, you\u2019ll need to locate and delete the source file of the notebook. Where is the source file stored? The obvious answer is it depends on where you saved it, but that can also depend on which OS you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Delete_a_OneNote_Notebook_in_OneDrive\"><\/span>How to Delete a OneNote Notebook in OneDrive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can save your OneNote notebook to OneDrive using both Mac and Windows 10.
