Thanks! Seems like a bug if I have to go through the website first to open the notebook but it worked.
As for the notebook I deleted, I don't have it open in the app. It only shows when I go to open a notebook.

Hi andy_d
Generally the online version is always the single source of truth, the app just links to the online version to provide offline access. I think it literally finds the OneNote notebook just by it's URL, so a rename will break the link. Yeah, could be better designed.
As for you deleted notebook still showing up:
- Log into OneNote online and from the Notebooks selection screen under Recent find your "deleted" notebook.
- Hover your mouse over the name and you'll see a small x appear to the right-hand side.
- Click it to remove the reference (or shortcut) to the OneNote notebook.
Next time you open a notebook from the app, you won't see the deleted one it the list anymore.
Hope that helps!
Cheers.

Thank you. I don't see it under recent. I also tried searching for it and I don't find it.
