I was removing old and unwanted applications from my MBP earlier today and noticed that I have a lingering Notification from a web app title app.[insert website name].com .

I searched my MBP (including system files) and cannot find any remaining references to the web app (other than in my Time Machine local backups).

When I reboot my MBP the notification is removed.

When I subsequently open Safari the notification reappears meaning the web app must be somewhere!

Would appreciate help in removing the web app and related notification.

Thanks in advance.
 
Launch Safari. Select menu Safari > Settings... click Websites tab. On the left, select Notifications. In the panel on the right, find the offending website and select "Deny".
 
@Bigwaff, appreciate the response noting that the offending website was not on the Websites > Notifications tab so that was a no go.

I experiment with other settings and note that a combination of:

  1. Going to the Privacy tab and click Manage Website Data and deleting all data.
  2. Clear Safari’s cache via the History menu by selecting Clear History.
  3. Restart Safari and check if the notification reappears.
seems to have worked. I will monitor over the next few days.
