I keep getting Microsoft Auto Updates

Just to be clear, I have already deleted the MAU2.0 folder from /Library/Application Support.

And Microsoft Edge is deleted as well but I keep getting these annoying notifications every 3-5 minutes even though I don't have anything Microsoft related on my MacBook anymore(except for VSC but that has never given me any trouble). I tried reinstalling it and deleting it again, but as seen in the screenshot, it has not helped at all.

Does anybody know what to do in this situation because it is very annoying.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1

From within System Settings, General, Login Items.....Look for

an entry in the list that has a small 'i' within a circle. You can click on the 'i'

and it will open a finder window to the associated location. Or look in and

view the files in these locations (using TextEdit) to see if you can spot which

one it is. (Go to Finder, Go, enter /Library). Don't use your library from your username

You can delete them but keep them in the Trash Can just in case so you can restore them

if it causes more problems.

/Library/LaunchDaemons

/Library/LaunchAgents

Thank you for answering. I was able to delete a few more microsoft-related files in /LaunchDaemons (I already deleted stuff from /LaunchAgents) and then restarted it but sadly it didn't help.

And on another note, I was not able to find the ⓘ in the supposed location, you said it was.. But I do remember seeing it somewhere in the Settings.
