OneNote 2007 DeleteHierarchy API - Can you delete Notebooks this way? "benmca[ at ]gmail.com" <benmca[ at ]gmail.com> 6/28/2007 12:53:58 AM On the "What's new for developers in OneNote 2007" website - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ms406042.aspx The DeleteHierarchy API is documented as "You can use the DeleteHierarchy method to delete any hierarchy object (a notebook, section group, section, or page) from the OneNote 2007 notebook hierarchy." But, apparently, you cannot delete Notebooks given the ID. I'm using C# btw, and the docs are for the C++ api - could there be a difference? At any rate - thought I'd ask if anyone else has encountered this issue and found a workaround. My workaround right now is to delete the notebook file structure from the hard drive, which seems a touch harsh - I'd rather use the API if possible. Thanks! Ben

This appears to be a mistake in documentation. OneNote does not have direct support for deleting a notebook. You can either delete the notebook from the filesystem/SharePoint yourself, or you can call the CloseNotebook API, which will remove the notebook from OneNote, but will still keep around the actual files, so you could reopen it later.
