I delete it from my music list, delete notification folders and it comes back in twice as many places.
I spend up to 2 or 3. Hours at a time several times everyday delete it.
I want my memory back it takes up. HELP HELP HELP

you have note 20 ultra and you are complaining about memory? how much stuff do you have? the smallest storage size is 128gigs......that should be more than enough room for whatever.

I created a thread for discussing your ringtones problem. Welcome to Android Forums @style0683

Where did you get these Yahoo ringtones to begin with?
How are you deleting them?
Obviously they are not being deleted if they are still ringing for you.

Yahoo automatically inserts them whenever the app updates.

You'll see it in your music app or ringtones when Yahoo Mail updates or you download the app for the first time.

My AT&T email comes through Yahoo Mail. I'm glad I never downloaded the app now.

Are you using a music app that came with your Note20 Ultra, or did you install and use a third-party music app?
I have a Note20 Ultra myself, and the only music app it came with was QQ Music, which is streaming.

I suggest the problem is really with the whatever it is music app you're using, in that it doesn't know the difference between real music and ringtone files. Some music apps do scan the entire phone storage looking for and indexing every audio file it finds, including scanning any "ringtone" folders.
On my Note20 Ultra I use Foobar2000 as my music player. With this app I can specify where the my music is stored, e.g. the "music" folder, and it will NOT look anywhere else, and will not play ringtones.

You could try inserting a .NOMEDIA tag file in whereever the Yahoo Ringtones are stored.

I do not ever recall that yahoo email would have a ringtone on its own, then again its been about several years since I went to their email..

I believe what is being asked; is how to stop yahoo from reinstalling alert tones for email after you have uninstalled them. Yahoo has about 15 different alert tones you can choose to use, if you wish, or non at all. If you uninstall them, the next time you open Yahoo email, the tones automatically reinstall.
