OMG I hate this thing. It constantly shows up and blocks my last tab in Safari - the one I am usually ON. I don't HAVE any widgets - how do I get rid of it altogether??
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.5
It seems the crux of the issue is that you said it constantly shows up. The only time you should ever see it is when you click the time in the menu bar, or the keyboard shortcut by holding the Function Key and the "n" button, where it will toggle the notification center on/off.
So are you inadvertently clicking the time or is it randomly appearing for no reason? If it is randomly appearing that would indicate there is some third party software installed that is causing the problem or possibly a custom keyboard shortcut that is being used. That is why I asked about Bartender, as that one has been seen to randomly choose a menu item.
While you cannot get rid of Notification Center, you also should not be seeing it, unless you do one of those actions to open it. I don't know if it is a keyboard shortcut in your case, third party software, or inadvertently clicking the time in the menu bar. If you rule out the keyboard shortcut and clicking the time, then post the free EtreCheck report to identify if there is any third party process running on your computer that could be causing that problem. The report contains no personal information.

If this was not something you activated by clicking the time in the upper right of your menu bar to open/close widgets, then do you have Bartender installed on your computer. Issues have been reported with this app that have also automatically selected the Apple Menu on the opposite side of the menu bar.

When you click on the Time in the Menu Bar
What do you get ?
I get this
Perhaps my terminology is unfamiliar to some but it is somethings called a Fly Out
AFAIK - Notification Centre is Built into the Operating System
As such, it is not possible to Remove or Delete it - full stop
Have you clicked the circle with the X inside it?
Ok. I did all of those things and I still have the same graphic as what I uploaded. You can not get rid of "Notification Center". I have no widgets, and turned off all notifications. They should at least let you position stinkin thing somewhere else than right where I have my Safari tabs!
Hi Steve, well yes, of course, that was the first thing I tried. When I hit that button, it shows "clear all notifications" And then nothing happens, the little notification center proceeds to stay right there bothering me.
Are you referring to the removal the Fly Out from Top Right of Screen
This is correct from what I am finding.
I do not have "Bartender" installed.
