How can I simultaneously delete all sections, in OneNote?
The screenshot beneath shows only an option to delete each section, which is too unproductive.

Why not make a new notebook? If you can Edit to explain what you're trying to accomplish, it might make the answer more apparent.

@ChristopherHostage Do you mean deleting this notebook and creating a new one? This feels more inefficient than just deleting all the sections.

It's not more inefficient. Have you tried creating a new Notebook? It's a trivial process involving not more than 3 clicks and resulting in a clean, empty notebook.

@music2myear I see now. But is there truly no option to delete all sections simultaneously?

As you have observed from your own perusal of the UI, there is not.

There is not a built-in method to delete all sections in a OneNote notebook. Microsoft developers did not, apparently, believe this was likely to be a normal desire, as, correctly, they assumed a person doing this would probably find it easier to simply create a new Notebook.
Because OneNote uses the excellent VBA macro system, it is possible to write code to delete all of sections in a Notebook, but the effort required to do this would exceed both the normal manual deletion of each section and the much simpler process of creating a new notebook.
Incidentally, the steps to create a new notebook are:
- Open the File section.
- Click New
- Enter a name for your new notebook
- Click the Create Notebook button
The steps to close your old notebook are:
- In the list of notebooks on the left side of the OneNote UI, right-click on the notebook you wish to remove.
- Click Close this notebook
- (optional) Find the folder belonging to this notebook in your DocumentsNotebooks directory and delete it.
