Removing Closed Notebooks from OneNote App on Samsung Galaxy S24

I found the suggestion from Randy elsewhere but on my Android OneNote there is no Remove option as long-press does nothing but suggest "click to open".

I found a way to remove them though which worked!

1. Open OneNote on your desktop.
2. Go to the Files menu and select Open.
3. Scroll to the Notebooks section.
4. Right-click and select "Remove from List" for those that you don't want to see.
5. Manually sync notebooks on both desktop and mobile to update the list on the Android app.

I see a list of Closed Notebooks.

How do I remove and delete those closed notebooks?

Those notebooks do not exist in my documents in my OneDrive, or anywhere else. I can't select them to delete them.

None of the options I found work. The list keeps growing with each attempt.

Please help, thank you.

Hi,

On your Samsung Galaxy S24, "Closed Notebooks" in OneNote are just leftover references to notebooks you previously opened, they don’t exist in OneDrive and can’t be deleted. To remove them, open OneNote, go to Notebooks, then long-press any closed notebook and select "Remove from list"; this only clears it from your app view. If that option doesn’t appear, try signing out and back in or clearing the app cache via Settings > Apps > OneNote > Storage > Clear Cache to refresh the list. This safely cleans up your app without affecting any real notebooks.

Kind regards,
