OneNote - Location, Name, Resolving Backup (& Search dropdown)
I recently had a problem with the Search function in OneNote - where Search was not finding words in recently created Notes. And I fixed that problem, eventually, by deleting all of the files in the OneNote cache. But after that, when restarting OneNote, it came up Empty (with Errors). After jacking around with copying the old OneNote folder and renaming it, Opening Backups, etc. - I finally got my OneNote back up and working (sort of - see paragraph at the end).
My problem now is the "Info" is showing 2 Notebooks - "OneNote Notebooks 4" and "OneNote Notebooks 2" - and even worse, the location shown for Notebooks 4 is: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=562C6E59%21s0bcbd9618347485ca665bf8f3012d298&id=documents&end=()&end.
I created Notebooks 4 on the advice for another post to get things running again - but, WHERE AM I? - which Notebook am I using?
How do I get back to a single notebook at a reasonable location instead of the ridiculous link above.
I also have a question about the OneNote locations shown in the "Save & Backup" option - I don't understand a couple of things there.
[And a side note - even though OneNote Search is now working, the dropdown list is now showing the full path name for the Note location instead of the Page/Tab name for the location of the Note. Is there some option that I reset while trying to get OneNote working again.]
I obviously need help with this one - and am afraid to mess around experimenting since OneNote is back up and working well (except for the dropdown).

As a follow up to my post, here is what I am seeing.
How do I know which one of these I am using - how can I tell which one of these I am using (right now).
Don't quite understand the link address under OneNote Notebooks 4.
Don't need 2 OneNotes - can I delete one of them to avoid my confusion.
Where should OneNote be located/positioned so that it will be backed up in OneDrive.
Thanks.
