As the contents in your notebook change over time, you might decide to delete sections that you no longer need.
Caution
When you delete a section from your notebook, all of the pages contained in that section, as well as the notes on those pages, will also be deleted.
To delete a section
- Right-click the section tab and click Delete.
If you delete a section and immediately change your mind, press Ctrl+Z on your keyboard. This handy shortcut will undo the last thing you did—including deletions.
If you've mistakenly deleted a section, go to History > Notebook Recycle Bin to recover the section.
Delete a labeled section
If your organization uses Sensitivity Labels, OneNote protects labeled content when it’s deleted.
When you delete a labeled section:
- The section is moved to Deleted Notes in the Notebook Recycle Bin.
- The section keeps the sensitivity label it had at the moment you deleted it.
Important
You can’t change or remove the sensitivity label on a deleted section while it’s in the Recycle Bin, and you may need to sign in with the correct account to open labeled content.
