Jan 20, 2021 at 17:13 comment added domotorp Sometimes (all right, quite often) a comment convinces me that my answer is incorrect, so I delete it, but before I like to answer to the comment acknowledging my mistake. Do I get it right that I can delete me answer straightaway, as the notification will be seen by the person addressed?
Dec 15, 2014 at 14:07 comment added François G. Dorais Mod @EricWofsey: This is not on the main site, so it depends on the app and the type of notification it sends. Some types of notifications have no retraction capabilities (e.g. you can't unsend emails).
Dec 15, 2014 at 13:42 comment added Eric Wofsey Is this really not a bug? It seems to me that a never-seen notification should disappear if the comment was deleted.
Dec 15, 2014 at 12:58 comment added Gerald Edgar Useful to know. Sometimes I have posted a comment, then soon deleted it when I saw it was nonsense. But notifications may have been sent anyway!
Dec 15, 2014 at 12:56 comment added Gerald Edgar When the notification was sent, the comment existed. Deleting (or changing) the comment does not affect the notification.

Dec 15, 2014 at 9:30 comment added Manfred Weis Thanks for the clarification; so the App lets one see more than is ordinarily possible - its a feature, not a bug.
