Yoast Premium to FREE: cannot get rid of Notifications

Hi,

I went from Yoast Premium, back to yoast free. I seactivate premium, delete premium, install free, activate free.

And now on the dashboard I am still seeing these 2 notifications:
We’ve detected 125 ‘orphaned’ posts (no inbound links). Consider adding links towards these posts.

Dismiss this item.
We’ve detected 23 ‘orphaned’ pages (no inbound links). Consider adding links towards these pages.

Clicking on the Cross on the right does not close/hide the notification. Nothing happens.

Not a big deal, but ennoying to see red badge on WP admin dashboard when you manage to update everything else.

please fix, thank you
