can't clear geary notification

[Ezra Sharp]

The new notifications menu (The icon with the bell) constantly has "Geary" stuck in it. and the "Clear" option is greyed out.

If I click on the notification the Geary first-run-setup window pops up. If I quit geary via "Close All" in plank, Geary closes but the notification is still there in the top right area, the dropdown with the Bell Icon. I can't get rid of it.

<CantSleepcss> "hey just so you know, a maybe fix found in dconf ... in com.canonical.indicator.messages ... just clear geary from value there"

@Ezra Sharp - Please elaborate on how to clear from which file exactly? So far I have had no luck in resolving this bug. I'm not even sure how to fully close Geary either.

Hello, had a similar problem (Geary notification stuck there with no ability to clear). First you need to install dconf tools. Open a terminal window, type "sudo apt-get install dconf-tools" and press enter. Then run dconf editor from Applications. Navigate to the location com->canonical->indicator->messages and delete the value. You need to leave the brackets []. Exit the editor and restart OS, bell icon gone!
