    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 entries), 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?

    I'd search for that in the registry and delete any entries. After making a registry backup.

    And your purpose for reposting it here? It's off topic and I can't image what good comes of that (other than to point a finger). In my experience, if I post a question to multiple forums, I have a higher chance of getting a faster, most accurate response. Otherwise these problems drag on for days/weeks and then I have to start over when doing it one at time. So thanks, but my process works well. And I always report back the solution to all the threads. So it's only going to help you.

    Getting back on track (here's the 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.
