I need a little help :)

In ON I have moved some pages around, and when I deleted one notebook I
accidentially did it before the changes were saved.

Now I would like to delete the 'Misplace Section's - how do I do that?

I don't know the definitive answer to this one. My guess would be that if
you feel you ABSOLUTELY need to delete it, use Windows Explorer. My
preference would be to leave it there. After all, the next time there is a
misplaced section, OneNote it going to re-create it anyway.

Now, if you are talking about pages within the misplaced sections, you can
delete those by right clicking the page tab and selecting Delete.

I wanted to give you all some more info about misplaced sections:

1. Misplaced Sections are created whenever OneNote could not sync some
changes from the local cache to the master copy of the file. This might
happen if you make some changes offline, then delete the master .one file
and then come online; OneNote will move that section to the misplaced
sections. You might also see this if you make changes to some notebook and
while offline you try and close the notebook. OneNote will prompt you if you
are sure you want to do this and if you choose to do so OneNote will create
a Misplaced Sections virtual notebook and store the changed sections in
there.
The main point here is that OneNote will not delete changes to your
content, we want to be very conservative with your content and lose it.
2. Misplaced sections are only in the cache. These misplaced sections are
not in the file system, you can only get to them from the cache and by
running OneNote.
3. They work like other sections so you can move them to other locations
or deleted them; but they are read-only while they are in the Misplaced
Sections notebook. If you have lots of misplaced sections and you want to
quickly clear them out you can navigate to one of the sections and then
choose File-->Delete all Misplaced Sections.
4. If you reopen the notebook in question OneNote will attempt to patch
up problems and move the misplaced sections out of that virtual notebook and
move them to the master copy of the file. It works magically in certain
cases, I was really impressed when I saw this working well.

If you have more questions please let me know and I will add to this.
Ideally you should never see misplaced sections : )
