Is there a way to unassociate a One Note Notebook from its Skydrive location?

Question

I have a One Note Notebook that I had stored on Web / Skydrive location. But now due to various reasons, I want to unassociate the notebook from my Skydrive and store it on the local machine / on "My computer".

How do I achieve this?

(This is on One Note 2010, Windows 7)

EDIT: More details on how this storing online was achieved:

• No Skydrive was installed
• The notebook had been initially created using "Store Notebook on - My Computer" option under File > New
• Later I stored this online using "Share on Web or Network" option visible under the Notebook item in File > Info panel
• This seems to be the same workflow as "Share on Web" which stores the notebook on a Web Location in Microsoft Skydrive.
• I want to dissociate the notebook for this Sharing/Storing on the Web.

Thanks

Solution

1. Open the properties of the notebook
2. Click on 'change location' button, and then change the location to point to a local folder. OneNote will handle the syncup.

Hmm, there is no Sky Drive App in my Control Panel - Like I have already stated, I'm wondering how to do this with Windows 7 and OneNote 2010.

@Shisa I am not sure I understand your question then. "Like I have already stated, I'm wondering how to do this with Windows 7 and OneNote 2010" In your question you are asking how to "unassociate the notebook from my Skydrive" is that not right?

@Shisa I am going to update my answer

Ok, to be clear: I do not have Skydrive installed. The Notebook has been stored online using the "Connect to Windows Live" functionality in OneNote and hence found in that particular Skydrive account. I did not to download anything to my comp to be able to save the notebook on the web. And since I do not have anything Skydrive installed on my comp, it is not possible for me to uninstall it. Thanks.

Adding more detail to my question

Thanks. I was able to solve my problem by creating another notebook locally and dragging sections manually across, then deleting the old notebook. For some reason when I had tried this method before, the syncing kept failing and the location would not change. However, I tried this again on a test notebook and it worked. So, thanks.
