OneNote - Orphaned notebooks still listed

Microsoft OneNote (Version 16001.12026.20112.0) lists still orphaned, means already deleted notebooks.

How could I remove them from this list using the OneNote Microsoft Store Application. Is there a cache to clean?

By the way, the listed path of each of them targets an URL starting with

The one you want is "OneNote 2016".

If you haven't Office 2016 and don't want to install it, just go to logged in to your Microsoft account and delete the recent list.
