How to recover deleted blocks in Onenote?

How to recover deleted blocks in Onenote? I tried on OneDrive, I see they are there, but I can't download.

  • Hi hansleroy 

    Yes, I looked there. There's nothing. It is clean.
    This happened a week ago, after the HD had problems and had to replace it with a new one. Perhaps that can guide you better.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi renatosilva ,

    Did you look in the Recycle Bin? It isn't visible at first sight.

      Hi hansleroy 

       

      I looked there, nothing of the subject. In your answer, I can't find Choose File> Info> Open Backups.

        Hirenatosilva ,

        No idea where that File> Info> Open Backups comes from - not from me.

        From here, I'd open a CMD prompt, go to the drive with the backups and issue

        dir *.one /s

        Or else, do a search for

        *.one

        in Windows Explorer.

        Kind regards

        Hi renatosilva ,

        > I see they are there, but I can't download.

        HOW do you see them?

        Recycle bin > restore them

        In some section > right-click to copy to a section that does synchronize.

        Kind regards
