Recover a deleted page or section

You can recover a page or section up to 60 days after deletion. If you deleted a section group, you can recover the sections, just not the group. To recover a whole notebook, see Restore notes from a backup.

1. Select the History tab and select  Notebook Recycle Bin.

2. Right-click the page or section and choose   Move or Copy. 

3. In the Move or Copy dialog box, choose where to put the recovered content and select Move. 

4. Select   Notebook Recycle Bin again to close the recycle bin.

Tips: 

• If you just deleted text, images, a page or section, press Ctrl+Z to undo. 

• To restore content you deleted from a page, not the page itself, see Review and restore the history of a page. 

• If you deleted a section group, recreate the group and then move the restored sections to it directly. 

1. In OneNote for the web, you can recover a page; deleting a section is permanent and can't be undone.

2. On the View tab, select  Deleted Notes.

3. Select a section, right-click the page and choose   Restore. 

4. In the Restore Page dialog, choose where to put the recovered content and select OK.

5. Select Deleted Notes again to return to your notes.
