I cannot delete website from notifications centre, despite deleting them on Safari

Hello,


Everything is in the tittle, I did delete websites which I had authorised to send me notifications in Safari's settings. Yet, I still have a lot of entries in the notification centre in Mac OS setting that I cannot delete... I use Mac OS 13.6.9.


Thanks in advance,

Thank you everyone for your time and answers, I found the solution to the problem.

I actually had to manually delete the files within the safari folder, in this location:


/Users/username/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/RemoteNotifications/filenames


They then disappeared from my notification center. I guess there must have been some kind of bug with the safari app and not with my system as some have suggested.


Wishing you all a great evening/morning

The notifications in system settings are app notifications. If you want to remove one of them, you have to right click or control click on one of them and choose "Reset notifications...". This will remove that entry from the list. But it can still ask again the next time it runs.

I think there has been a misunderstanding, I do not want to remove NTS from my notifications I want to remove the dozens of entries that are present in my Notification center, within the Mac OS settings and not the Safari settings (where NTS is). Once again here is what I have in my notification center, I just want to remove the websites entries like forbes.fr groove.de etc...

Thanks for the answer, I have tried this before to no avail, the entry remains here. Unchecking "show in notifications center just grays the whole panel but the entry remains.

Those are web site notifications. You have to remove them using Safari > Settings > Websites > Notifications.


Once you remove them from Safari, they will also be removed from System Settings.

The original question from OP was " I cannot delete website from notifications centre, despite deleting them on Safari "


That " specific question " has been answered by at least 2 - 3 different contributors


So the new question related to System Setting >> Notification become another unrelate question to the original question


So and respectfully, which question is it the User ( you ) actually want answered ?
