How to DELETE a notification entry under "Get notifications from these senders" in "Notifications & actions"

@CPeezy

This is a solution so you can erase those entries. It worked for me!

For it to work, you need to enable "show hidden files, folders or drives", close Microsoft Edge and restart in "safe mode".

Go here (notification folder) and delete all files inside this folder.

C:Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Notification\

Last go into Registry editor (type regedit) in search bar and do a search "provider name you want to delete"...Delete all entries. After each search click F3 to keep searching and deleting.

Restart in normal mode and everything should be back to normal.

So far Microsoft seems to have done it again, folks.  There does not seem to be anything in ANY documentation related to notifications that allows you to actually REMOVE entries...  Sure you can turn them off, they can be added, and they can be disabled, but there seems to be no method (including registry editing) to remove them from the actual Notifications list in Settings.  

Recently I saw a machine that had several "allowed" notifications from a piece of malware that are now in the list.  The machine was cleaned up, but there are a number of dubious entries on this list in Settings, and no way to remove them.  

Genius, Microsoft.  Genius.  I guess we should expect this when File Explorer can no longer even accurately search your own file system (but don't worry, it can direct you to Bing where it can autoplay videos you don't want).

Greg,

It DOES appear under "Notifications & actions" settings in System Settings, along with other entries like Skype, Snip & Sketch, etc.

The solution you referred me to simply turns off browser notifications but it does NOT REMOVE the entry from the hereinbefore mentioned list.

Thanks Greg for your reply.

I said "entry" because I thought the procedure to delete an entry from the list was the same regardless of the source. Actually, it is a website entry, hence the "(via Microsoft Edge)". My daughter borrowed my work computer and visited halloween costume websites using Edge and accidently clicked on a prompt to receive notifications. The next day at work I started to receive odd notifications for jack-o-lanterns and other halloween accessories on sale. Needless to say that I immediately turned off those notifications, and deleted the website from Edge permissions list, but the website stays listed in the list of "senders" under "Get notifications from these senders" in Windows' "Notifications & actions".

Turning off notifications for this entry does prevent them from popping, but I was hoping a right click would reveal a "delete" action. Unfortunately, it does not. Since it is a work computer, I do not find it appropriate to have an undesired website listed in that list with a toggle that could accidently be switched on again. By the way, I did search the Windows registry for that specific website name and deleted all the occurrences found (there were two, with one under "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings"), but the entry does not want to disappear (I have not rebooted my machine though… I will try that now and report here if it solves the issue)!

Hi Phillipe. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Guardian Moderator here to help you.

What is the app? The only way I know to remove it from list is to uninstall the App.

I'm also not sure why it says via Microsoft Edge, as that type of entry is not usually seen on that screen. You get the detail when you click on the Entry, where you can also refine the Settings.

But to remove an item from that list you'd need to uninstall it. May I ask why simply turning off all notifications buttons for the app isn't enough?

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to rate my post, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
