OneNote 2016 data files location
I know this old, but I couldn't believe the answer you got. You were in the right area, but you need to turn on show hidden files on file explore. Click on "View" on top, then "Option" to the right. Then pick "view," Under hidden files and folders, click "Show hidden files, folders, and driver." You should see your One Note files. For some reason, window hides them.
If you don't see them, click on "My Notebook"
This is not an "old" problem. Its a current problem that was identified years ago and has never been fixed. I have years of work invested in Onenote, but I have to consider the efforts as wasted time. I was a little shocked that people are still having the same problems I did years ago. Want to have some fun? Ask anyone at Microsoft to identify their networking and product strategy for every version of word. If you get the same answer twice, I will be shocked. I tried this a year or two ago and we posted some of the responses on the wall. The lack of knowledge is pervasive. If we didn't have hunreds of templates done in word, we'd be long gone. It's probably been at least a decade or more and Microsoft still can't implement a Section properly. I keep hoping. I view their products as untested, unmaintained code, heavily marketed, based on genius ideas that are never implemented. I wish Digital Equipment was still around, but Congress destroyed them.
