Why are recovered OneNote files smaller than original ones?
This is normal. The damaged parts of your OneNote file will convert to zero size on output. The other common reason of file size decrease is when some of features of the original OneNote file are not supported and therefore absent from the recovered OneNote file.
Demo-recovered OneNote file is smaller because it mostly consists of demo placeholders than actual data.
