Microsoft OneNote Journal not syncing

Sync Issue with OneNote


For a week or 2 now my Work notebook has not been syncing to my SkyDrive.  I have been fixing any page sync errors between all of my devices one at a time.  This has yeilded no success yet.  Then I came across this article from Microsoft for the error being reported.

The error message is:
We're sorry, something went wrong during sync. We'll try again later. (Error code: 0xE000005E)

Clicking on Get Help sent me here:

One thing to note is don't forget to permanently delete the notebook out of the OneNote Recycle Bin.  If you don't the sync will still fail.

After that is done if you want the notebook to have the same name as the original just rename it.
