Those 3 locations seem about right to me. With the desktop version you can have multiple backups and define where on your C: they are stored. Its possible the path may be slightly different depending on the PC.
The O365 web app uses OneDrive (for O365 or personal accounts) as you suggest & Teams saves most stuff to SharePoint.

Hi Allan,
I have a follow-up question if you have time. I want to advise this faculty member to do a *.one search to locate their notebooks. After reading the issue, is that the best advice? Thanks in advance!
I can’t seem to find where my OneNote notebooks are stored on OneDrive. Is there a hidden folder or something that contains the actual notebook files? I’m trying to do some digital housekeeping. I changed the storage location of some old notebooks from within OneNote to a particular folder, but when I go to that folder in OneDrive it’s just links, not the actual notebooks themselves. I looked at notebooks I haven’t moved and it is the same situation. I’d like to know where they actually are to potentially do a backup, close the notebook within OneNote to reduce clutter, and potentially delete old clutter, but I can find the actual files.
