How do I delete a Notebook from Onenote

To delete a notebook from OneNote, you can use the PowerShell cmdlet Remove-MgUserOnenoteNotebook if you are working with the Microsoft Graph API. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open PowerShell: Make sure you have the Microsoft.Graph.Notes module installed.
2. Use the cmdlet: Execute the following command:

      Remove-MgUserOnenoteNotebook -NotebookId <NotebookId> -UserId <UserId>
   

   Replace <NotebookId> with the unique identifier of the notebook you want to delete and <UserId> with the unique identifier of the user.
3. Confirm the deletion: You may need to confirm the action depending on the parameters you set.

If you are using the beta version, you can use Remove-MgBetaUserOnenoteNotebook with similar parameters.

Make sure to check if you have the necessary permissions to delete notebooks, as this may affect your ability to perform the action.

Hi Sahmy,

Thank you for sharing your question.

Sorry you can't find the delete button. It's tricky since OneNote doesn’t let you delete stuff right in the app. A lot of folks get tripped up by this. I am here to help.

You won't see a delete option in OneNote Because notebooks aren’t deleted from inside the program itself. You handle them where they're stored  either on your computer or on OneDrive, depending on where they’re saved.

To get rid of a notebook on your Windows computer, close it in OneNote first, so it's not in your list. Then, go to File Explorer, find your Documents folder, then the OneNote Notebooks folder. Right-click the notebook you want to trash and hit Delete. Empty your Recycle Bin to clean it off your system.

If the notebook’s on OneDrive, log into OneDrive on the web, find the Notebooks or OneNote Notebooks folder, pick the notebook, and delete it there. After that, in the OneNote app, right-click the notebook and pick Close This Notebook to get it off your list.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Noel
