Class Notebook - trying to Remove Students

Hi Sherrianna Scott, 

Welcome to the Q&A Community 

I’m here to assist with your problem. 

To better assist you, could you please provide more details to narrow down the issue? For example: 

• Are you accessing this primarily through the web version of OneNote/Teams, or do you have the desktop app installed (and if so, which version, like OneNote 2016 or the modern OneNote for Windows)? 
• Have you tried clearing your browser cache or using a different browser/device? 
• Can you confirm if the students' sections are still visible in the notebook structure, and if so, do you need to preserve any of their content? 

You can try workaround to fix that remove student from Class Notebook from Teams: 

• Open One Note on Teams : Apps – OneNote - Open 

• On your recent file you want to remove student, click “Share” and choose Manage Access 

• Click on Student you want to remove – Choose “Can view” icon

• Choose No direct access to remove access for Student - Apply - Remove 

• So now you have remove Student completely from OneNote Class Team.

If issue still persists, I'm afraid something is stuck in the class notebook's background, and it needs to check your class notebook from back end to further investigate the issue and remove the student's notebook. 

In this situation, I sincerely recommend you contact your Microsoft 365 Administrator, help you raise a support ticket by following steps in this article Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn 

The support team has higher permission to further help you check your class notebook from back end for root cause.
