		<description>That is the page which I referred to.  However, messages generated by workflows are different altogether - I missed your reference to workflow in your original comment.  The workflows relate to a list, and the out of box workflow messages will link to the list in question.  

What happens if you go to the address in the email?  What happens if you go to the _layouts/settings.aspx URL corresponding to the site/site collection linked to?  You need to find where the actual workflow is stored (clue is the link in the messages) and then use SharePoint Designer to access the Workflow list, where you should be able to deal with it.</description>

		<description>So, I went to a sibling site, then to the _layouts/sitesubs.aspx page, which the site collection site settings called the user alerts page. There are no alerts listed there.
Is that the page to which you referred? Note that this recurring email alert appears to be telling the user that a sharepoint out of the box approval workflow task is overdue - would those show up as user alerts?</description>

		<description>If you have the URL for the deleted site, you should be able to figure out the Site Collection URL (it will be part of the path - probably starting http://servername/site/collectionname) - go to that, or another site in that, and then go to Alerts.  Alternatively, you can find all your site collections in Central Admin under Application Management &gt; Sharepoint Site Management &gt; Site Collection List - from there you can get to the management pages for the site collection and find all the alerts and workflows that exist, and figure out why your user is getting the specific alerts.</description>

		<description>I am uncertain how to find alerts at the site collection level - anyone have a keyword for me to google to find more info? Thanks!</description>

		<description>Alerts are set up on the site collection, rather than the site so if that still exists you can probably easily enough get rid of it through the standard web interface.  That probably makes more sense than rewriting the script to filter for a specific site.

In terms of changes to the script, it should be possible to display the details of each alert found for a given user. in fact I think when I was originally writing the script I did this as part of my debugging, but removed from the final version as I didn&#039;t want or need that level of verbosity.

The yes/no functionality is much more of a challenge in PowerShell.  I am sure you can do it, but you may find it is not worth the effort where you only occasionally want to delete a specific alert for a specific user. My use case was something I was doing a couple of times a month to get rid of alerts for staff who had left - I didn&#039;t particularly care which alerts I was deleting.

I&#039;d be delighted if you used my script as the basis for resolving your specific issue. If you do, please share with the wider SharePoint community.

It may also be worth asking at &lt;a href=&quot;http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sharepoint Stack Exchange&lt;/a&gt; or other fora where someone may have shared something closer to what you are trying to achieve.</description>

		<description>I have a need for a similar type of program. In my case, the user is still here. He is getting email from an alert, however, that was created on a site that has, since that time, been deleted. The alert keeps sending email saying a workflow task is overdue, but the user cannot reach the site to do anything about it.

Is there a way for your script to display all the alerts from the person and to allow me to indicate yes or no regarding deleting of the alert?  I have the old URL where the alert was originally created, if there is a way to filter the alerts examined so that one sees a lesser number of alerts.</description>

		<description>Hi Josh - I just updated all the SharePoint scripts, as another reader spotted some bugs.  The scripts above, and the downloads have all been updated.</description>

		<description>Hi Moz - these scripts are for SharePoint 2007.  I don&#039;t know if they would work with SharePoint 2010 at all.  I have made an update to the script prompted by another reader, which changes the way the GUIDs for the web apps are listed.  If you download SPFunctions.ps1 and delete-spalert.ps1 again, you may get different results, but again, I&#039;ve only tried it in Sharepoint 2007.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your feedback and corrections.  I have updated all my SharePoint PowerShell scripts.  I changed the function name of Get-SPWebApplication (which was labelled Get-SPWebApplications in the comments in SPFunctions.ps1) to Get-SPWebApps.  At the time of writing these scripts, &lt;strong&gt;which are for SharePoint 2007&lt;/strong&gt;, there was very little documentation about how to access different things through PowerShell.  Microsoft&#039;s documentation was almost entirely aimed at .Net programmers, not admins using PowerShell.  Thanks for letting me know about this function.  I have incorporated it into the SPFunctions.ps1 in the function that lists the Web Applications and their GUIs.</description>
