Okay so there's many issues with this. Ive worked mostly offline recently for OneNote. so nothings synced to the web. I use the desktop app for the program. under X account. when i try to log in to sync it all on the web it says there is no account for x account. which there should be. OneDrive has some of my notebooks. but they are not up to date. and it wont sync. ive tried going to C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote<ver> . only thing in there is a backup folder thats empty. a cache folder with like 4 files 3 that are .bin (4kb) and a header file. and a tmp folder (empty).
I hope that's enough information to help me. need to find my up to date notebooks so I can back them up, wipe my system completely and reinstall. doing a system restore and keeping my files is not an option.
also wont be using that account anymore so getting it to work isnt a concern unless it gets me to where they can be backed up.

On Windows 10, the Backup folder for your notebooks is located at
C:\Users*user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote*version\Backup.**
Or you can check the default location for backup files by the following steps
Click File > Options > Save & Backup.
Under Save, in the Paths list, click Backup Folder, and this is the location of the folder where OneNote to store backup files.
