MS Graph: Deleting aone note page using graph API is permanently deleting the page and not moving it under delete notes

Question

We are using the following Microsoft Graph API to delete OneNote page.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/page-delete?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

When deleting the page using API its permanently getting deleted and is not moved in the Deleted notes, but if we delete from OneNote client then the page is moved under delete notes.

We really need a way to recover deleted notes, this should work consistent from OneNote client UI and API.

Hi @Deepak Sharma

Hope you are doing well.

I'm also able to replicate this issue. Yes agreed, In graph API there is no documentation clearly called it out. But I could able to find some reference related to OneNote Office 365 REST APIs and I think the graph API also behaves the same way as Office 365 REST APIs like before.

Answer 2

Hello @Deepak Sharma , According to my understanding, the delete operation of graph means that the data has been completely removed. You can open a support ticket and ask for help in the Microsoft back end to see if there are any good suggestions.
