macOS Big Sur.
I have an external hard drive that is messy. See screenshot. There's like a zillion notifications from the last couple of days…
Is it possible to clear them all without restarting the Mac (it's a file server so I rather not do that)?
Solution:
Kill the process called "Notifcation Centre". All notifications immediately vanished.
The process started itself after this wo any notifications.

Thanks Mr Badger, unfortunately none of this works.
When clicking on the time, all notifications just moves to the right, ie they don't group together (see screenshot). I guess that Finder-related notifications don't group together? (I'm not sure if this is the fact in just Big Sur, or if it would be the same in Ventura)
However, it's time to update this Mac to to Monterey or Ventura, and also switch the external drive, so the problem will "solve itself"…
Hey Andreas Carlsson,
We'd be happy to help out with clearing your notifications on your Mac. If you tap on the date and time in the top right corner of your Mac's display, it'll pull up Notification Center. It should then group all of these notifications together and allow you to tap on the "X" to clear all.
For more info on managing notifications on your Mac, check out the following details:
Use notifications in Notification Center on your Mac
In Notification Center, move the pointer over a notification, then do any of the following:
• Expand or collapse a stack of notifications: If an app’s notifications are grouped, multiple notifications are stacked. To expand the stack and show all of the notifications, click anywhere in the top notification. To collapse the stack, click “Show less.”
• Take action: Click the action. For example, click Snooze in a notification from the Calendar app, or click Reply in a notification from the Mail app.
• If an action has an arrownext to it, click the arrow for more options. For example, to reply to a call using the Messages app, click the arrow next to Decline, then choose Reply with Message.
• See more details: Click the notification to open the item in the app. If an arrowis shown to the right of the app name, click the arrow to show details in the notification.
• Change an app’s notification settings: If an arrow, then choose to mute or turn off notifications, or show the app’s notification settings in Notifications settings.
• Clear a single notification or all notifications in a stack: Click the Clear or Clear All button.

We hope this helps out.
Take care!
Clear all notifications at once
