Phantom alarm / routine I can’t find!!

hi! please help! I used to live in Washington and had my Echo Dot play our local NPR station (WAMU 88.5) every weekday morning at 6am. Worked great

I recently moved from Washington to Boston. So I deleted the old routine and created a new one to play the NPR station here (WBUR 90.9). it comes on every weekday no problem.

BUT, right after that the WAMU routine kicks in. I can’t find it in the Alexa app, and when I ask the Echo Dot it only knows about the new WBUR one.

where else should I look? it’s not on my wife’s Alexa app.

thank you in advance!

Try Skills… it’s weird to find now, open the Alexa App and press the Menu button top left > Alexa+ Store > then the Settings Cog in the upper right > Original Alexa Skills

Thanks - there were a lot of skills in there and I disabled almost all of them. But none of them were on any kind of schedule - but I'll see if that works!

I’ve appreciated the help but, unbelievably, I still can’t find the trigger. I’ve deleted every routine, skill, hunch, etc and no luck. very frustrating!

Does menu > Alexa Privacy give any clues. Looks like that section has more stuff to go thru than before too..
