i3 notification even though I uninstalled i3

I decided to play around with i3, downloaded a premade config, found out that it changes the key binds, uninstalled it, and went back to good old XFCE. However, the notifications still look like they're from i3, and I don't like that. How do I fix this? I removed my leftover configs in ~/.config/i3 and elsewhere.

Re: i3 notification even though I uninstalled i3

Looks like you have another notification manager installed and running. Is it possibly dunst? If so, uninstall it.

If not, post back:

ps -ef | grep -i notif
