OneNote won't back up to OneDrive

Hello,

I've been using Microsoft OneNote and OneDrive for a few years now. When I had all Windows 10 PCs, I had no problem getting OneNote to sync with OneDrive automatically, while I manually copied all of my other files.

However, since I've upgraded to Windows 11 PCs, all of my files started uploading to OneDrive automatically, causing the drive to max out. I figured out how to stop the automatic syncing (presumably) and then proceeded to delete those files I did not want in OneDrive (although this deleted some of my files from my desktop on one of my PCs in the process). Unfortunately, this caused OneNote to stop automatically syncing. Now, I keep getting a "Saved offline (error)" message.

Therefore, does anyone know how to get OneNote to automatically sync to OneDrive in Windows 11, while simultaneously allowing me to only copy all of my other files manually?
