How do you delete a Class Notebook created in Teams?

What's the correct procedure to delete a Class Notebook that's been created via a Team and how can I view where they are stored?

 

I've deleted the team that has the class notebook in but i'm still seeing the notebook listed under Office 365->Class Notebook->Manage Notebook under the co-owned notebooks.

 

Also what's the correct way to add\remove students and teachers to Class notebook created in Teams, are we supposed to do this in Teams rather than Onenote?

 

Thanks

    Stephen Campion I was able to open the notebook on SharePoint and delete it there.

    1. Go to your sharepoint website (in your browser)

    2. Go to "My Files" for me it is a paper icon in the left toolbar

     

    3. Click on the link below the notebook you want to delete, if you hover over this link it says "Click this link to open the folder containing this item"

    4. Click the three dots next to the document name

    5. Select Delete, you get a warning asking if you are sure

    Then you can remove links from your teams channel!

    I Have this exact issue but have been busy with MS Support regarding this.

     

    If you create a normal notebook in 365 Onenote it stores in you Onedrive under:

    Files>Notebooks

     

    if you create a class notebook from 365 Onenote it self it stores in:

    Files>Class Notebook

     

    if you create a class notebook in teams it stores in:

    Sharepoint>"yoursite">Site contents>Site Assets

     

    if you create a staff notebook in teams it stores in:

    Files>Staff Notebook

     

    but i have not yet found a way to delete this link you can remove it and restrict permission for it but have not found a way to actually delete or replace this file under you sharepoint site.

     

    Hope this clears somethings up for you.

      Francois_Pienaar  This is very helpful.  I created a Class Notebook in Teams but now would like to delete it because all my students already have OneNote Notebooks that they would like to use.  I have 2 questions:

      1. How do I locate my "Sharepoint" files??  

      2. How do I remove / restrict permission to the Class Notebook that I created in Teams?

       

      Many Thanks!!

        To restrict permission on this document you just use the more options (three dots)

        And edit link it should have a option to restrict it there

  • I have the same problem. I don't know where they are stored and cannot delete them, even after deleting the team.

      Yes it's a bit confusing in that there's two ways to create Class notebook and they both work differently.

       

      Does anyone know the following?

       

      When creating Class notebooks in Teams-

      • Where is the Class notebooks stored, they don't appear in OneDrive->Class Notebooks like normal.
      • How do you delete Class Notebooks that have been created in Teams? Once the team has been deleted the notebook continues to exist.
      • How are teachers and pupils meant to be added and removed from Class Notebooks created in teams?
