Delete a notebook from its Google account. The notebook’s sources and Studio artifacts go with it, and it cannot be recovered. Download any media you want to keep first with GET /artifacts/download.

To remove a single source instead, use DELETE /sources/source.

https://api.useapi.net/v1/gemini-notebook/notebooks/notebook

  • notebook is required, the notebook id returned by POST /notebooks or GET /notebooks. It contains : and @, so URL-encode it in the path (encodeURIComponent in JavaScript).

  • 596 Account Error

    Google reported the account as signed out. While we re-check it, the answer is the first message below. Retry in about a minute. If it stays signed out, the account is paused, you receive an email, and the answer becomes the second message until you re-add it via Setup Gemini Notebook.

    {
  "error": "Google reported this account as signed out. We are re-checking it — please retry in about a minute. If it stays signed out, you will receive a re-add email.",
  "code": 596
}

    {
  "error": "Account [email protected]: Google signed this account out. Re-add it at https://useapi.net/docs/start-here/setup-gemini-notebook",
  "code": 596
}
