Is it possible to clear/reset the data from the Shortcuts app? (iOS 14 public release, iPhone 11 Pro Max) When I open Shortcuts and go to Gallery -> Shortcuts from Your Apps, I see addresses listed under Maps, names and phone numbers under Phone, and I've even seen snippets of text I've sent in Messages.

I have (or so I thought) all of this turned OFF. Under Settings/Siri & Search/Phone, I have Learn from this App turned off, as well as Suggest Shortcuts for App turned off. Yet, in the Shortcuts app it still lists both names and a phone number under Phone.

Is there a way to clear or remove these items? While not a huge deal, I'm trying to understand how to control the data that gets fed into Shortcuts and turn it off or remove it. And if you can't, what do those toggles actually do then?

Things I have tried:
Delete & reinstall the app
Delete app, delete shortcuts backup from iCloud, reinstall app

Thanks in advance.
 
got the same issue! Did you ever find a solution?

in my case there are Apple TV remote suggestions I don't want to see/need. There is no individual setting for the remote app under Siri & Search..
