onenote sync error 0x40200A8

Question

What does that error mean?  I can't anything telling me what the problem is for that hex code.

Exact error: "We're sorry, something went wrong during sync. We'll try again later. (Error code: 0xE40200A8)"

It has been going on for days now.

Answer 1

Nvm, I see it now, duh.

• I copied that section
• Deleted it
• Emptied the recycle bin
• It syncs now!

Answer 3

Hi Anthony - thanks for that link.  I found that previously when googling the issue.  I was hoping for something more specific.  The sync error is not specific and therefore I can't tell what the problem is from that and therefore the guide on sync issues doesn't help because it assumes I know what the problem is.

Luckily this morning I saw this:

So I there issues sync sections.  But which sections?????

Thanks,
