Notifications Still Lists An Uninstalled App As On

    I recently installed Disk Drill to try and recover a lost file, but ended up uninstalling it (went with EaseUS Pro and had better results).

    After I used Revo Uninstaller to remove Disk Drill, I notice it's still present in my Windows 11 notifications menu (with the button toggled to "On" to received notifications from the app).

    Using Revo (and advanced scanning to remove all left over files/folders/registry entires), it seems like this should have been removed. I've always had good success with this. Why did it miss it? Or why is Windows showing a notice for a program that no longer exists?

    Most importantly, how can I remove it?

    Update (solution)

    This is what you need (if anyone happens upon this thread later). Windows Eleven Forums have a reg key that will clear all of them, but this article also pointed me to the right registry location. Found the key, deleted and it's gone.
