How to open all the sections from a back up OneNote notebook? How to I create Open Notebook file for a back up OneNote folder, which is locally stored

Question

I have recently deleted my OneNote data and changed it's backup location. I also cleared the cached files which created a lot of problems. Now I am unable to import a backup OneNote notebooks which has different sections. Other Notebooks have a file called Open Notebook in their respective backup folder, through which I am able to import all the sections in that Notebook in one go. But for this specific file in question ( say XYZ) i have to open the sections one by one by going to the backup folder The usual way to open a Notebook (file>open>this PC> particular notebook doesn't work in the case of XYZ notebook. )

Is there any alternative to open the sections of XYZ notebook. Or How do i create a Open NoteBook file for this particular notebook?

any help is really appreciated
