How do I get rid of the massive date in Notification centre

Hi.
Have just updated to Yosemite, which so far has been nothing but utter pain.
Latest issue is that the notification centre now includes an ENORMOUS Day and Date box which takes up a quarter of the screen real estate on my Macbook Air.
It is totally useless given that I already have the day and date written quite neatly in the menu bar.
How do I get rid of this waste of space so that I can actually fit something useful in the notification centre, there doesn't seem to be a delete option for it in the edit setting.
Whoever wrote the apple webpage saying Yosemite had been beautifully redesigned needs their head examining, or preferably shooting.
Many thanks.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I am aware of the Notifications Control Panel and its total lack of any option to turn off the massive day and date so perhaps I should alter my question to WHY is there no option to get rid of the enormous waste of space Day and Date box.
Probably the same reason why there is no option to say this answer did not solve my problem or help me.
I wish I could go back to Snow Leopard - but even just the CBeebies website for my daughter no longer works on it and we are forced to upgrade and turn more and more into a grumpy old man.

    You will Not be able to get rid of it entirely...
    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • How do I get rid of the annoying date that shows on my iPhoto screen?

    When I open iPhoto and scrool thru my photos a date overlays part of my screen. When I scroll with arrows the date reflects the roll that is in view. When I scroll with mouse wheel the date does not change at all. How can I get rid of that overlay date?

    The solution of unchecking "Show scrolling information" works, however, it did not work for me until I closed iPhoto and reopened it.

  • How do I get rid of the "other" data on my iPhone 4?

    The "other" data on my iPhone 4 is currently taking up 4.5 gb of my 6.4 gb phone. As you can see I'm not very happy about this. I am basically limited too about ten apps and I cannot download iOS 7 due to my lack of storage. I was wondering if there were any ways to get rid if the "other" data without resetting my iPhone. I cannot reset my iPhone because my family has a shared data plan and a limited amount of storage to back up to on iCloud. We don't have enough storage on iCloud to backup the 5.8 gb I'm using because of the other data. Any help?

    You would need to restore the iphone.

  • How do i get rid of the other data on my iphone 4s

    I have tried restoring my iphone, but the "other" data returns and continues to take up over 1.5G of my space. I would really like to get rid of the "other" data for good.

    "Other" is YOUR DATA. If you get rid of it you will lose your email messages and settings, all of your texts and iMessages, all of your system settings, etc.
    "Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Notes
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog

  • How do i get rid f the othe data?

    this is a question that has bugged me since the 1.3 update, i see that some posters have suggested that it is other info such as coverflow album art etc but prior to the update i didnt have this extra used space but still had coverflow?

    You didn't have 8GB of actual storage capacity to begin with even with nothing installed on the iPhone including the operating system. Computer companies and hard drive manufacturers advertise the decimal equivalent for hard drive storage which is not the actual. The actual is somewhat less and this applies to the hard drive on your computer and with any hard drive or storage including flash storage.
    Check the actual hard capacity on your computer. If you purchased what was advertised as a 100GB hard drive with your computer purchase, the actual before installing anything on the drive is 93-94GB or so.
    "Other" on the iPhone consists of items such as the following:
    Email storage.
    Contact information - including photos assigned to contacts.
    Calendar events.
    Notes with the Notes application.
    Maps bookmarks.
    Safari bookmarks.
    Safari cache, cookies and history.
    Recent calls.
    Phone favorites.
    SMS.

  • How do I get rid of the "other" category on my iPad Air?

    iTunes is saying that "other" occupies 1.97GB out of my 16GB tablet and I need to learn how to remove it. I am a long-time apple user with all the apple devices, but can't seem to figure out what causes the "other" category to be so large on any of my devices.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

  • How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

    How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

    Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
    By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
    I doubt the designer actually uses the app.
