Help Notifications still appear for uninstalled App

[Papa Deep]

I recently uninstalled an app, Free TV, that was not what it was purported to be, but I am still getting notifications on my status bar. The notifications are not coming from emails or web notifications but are titled from the app itself even though it has been uninstalled. Is there a place that you have to go to finish clearing out all the bits and pieces of an app once you uninstall? Note 8, N950U, Android V. 9, One UI Ver. 1, Patch lvl jan 1 2020

What was the exact name of the app. I can't seem to find it on Google PS. I did find one one Aptoide called "Free TV Online".

Try reinstalling that same app, and no, you don't need to even start it up. Just install the app, then go into your Settings >> Apps menu, find and open the entry for that app, tap on 'Force stop' if it is still running, and then find the Clear data button and tap on that. Using Clear data removes that app's configuration and settings files, along with its cache. With some apps, using just the Uninstall button removes most of the app but not necessarily its settings. Clear data 'should remove it all. You need to install the app just to access that 'Clear data' option.
And don't forge to just restart your Note 8 afterwards, just to be sure anything relative to that app lurking in RAM is wiped.

When the notification appears, long click on it and select the settings icon. From there you should get the option to uninstall.

Great, that worked, thanks
