How to disable OneDrive "On this day" "Memories" whatever MS calls it now

I can't find any options in the settings for OneDrive to get it to stop sending me reminders of the past "On this day" or "Memories". Is it even possible to turn this feature off?

Update: I found in the actual OneDrive website an option under settings called "On this day memories are available" that is already disabled. What I'm experiencing now is not emails, but popups in the bottom right corner of my screen, so no emails but now these popup notifications that seem to be coming from the operating system.

    OneDrive IS a backup. . It is sold as a backup. And storage.

    What are you speaking about. And it is not an experiential space, where users desire entertainment.

    Somehow I managed to move them to the bottom of the page, but now they are back at the top, and I can´t remember how I did it.
    It is indeed insulting.

    Same problem here. What makes MS think I want to have pictures or videos pop up at the top of page? And they sent me the same link. It goes to options where it's already unchecked. I do not get pop ups though. On Win 7 nor Win 10. But when I open Onedrive on my computer, at the top it says Memories. Then shows pictures or videos it pulls from the folders. I'm afraid to try and delete them for fear it will also delete it from the folder. Why are people always wanting to change things? Or at least make it easy to disable it.

    I think I've found the "off" switch for "memories of this day" photo's emailed by OneDrive. I logged in to OneDrive itself, went into settings, notification options, and there is a box for "send email when "on this day memories are available"."

    Fingers crossed that this works.

    I can see this page, but I can't uncheck any of the 3 checkboxes. The Cancel button does seem to work,

    In the mobile version go to Me>Settings>Personal Account>Shoe photos and videos from this day in previous years.

    You can also select Home Preferences and move the Memories section to the bottom.
