Question

Is there a way to permanently delete an app I don't want?

Community Answer

Yes, if you mean one you have downloaded. Find your applications folder in spotlight, locate the application in that folder and delete it. If the app is already loaded, you may not be able to remove it.

This is an app-sided issue. You should be able to manage notifications from specific websites in Chrome settings.

Question

Does not answer the question "How to Remove an App from the Mac Notification Center", only how to disable its notifications, which is different from actually removing the app from the list.

Community Answer

You highlight the app, and press "delete" from the right upper keyboard, and the app will be removed.
