Need to clear AEM Assets Inbox

Inbox is showing 100+ messages that I have to clear one at a time. Does anyone know the method to clear the inbox? Or at least have it stop notifying me for messages I have read.

Hi @phillipdunn , 

Yes you can delete the notification in bulk but this is not the recommended way also only for your local aem server.

Step:

1. Go to the below folders

 

2. Delete the folder under the  tasks folder by the date name and it will get removed. 

 

You can also try to configure your notification inbox/email for your user and check if those anything is enabled by default.

If it is an workflow process in your inbox, you need to purge the same.

Hi @phillipdunn ,

If you go into CRX DE light and then look at the folder:  /var/taskmanagement/tasks then you will find all of the inbox notifications there.

 

The workflow notifications are in /var/taskmanagement/tasks, but I would use caution if you are thinking of removing these.

 

Hope this helps.
