Hidden alarm that cant turn off

Please help! 

 

I have a galaxy s8 and a few days ago a hidden alarm goes off at 7am every day. I cant see this alarm, it is not in my clock app (I've tried deleting all alarms and clearing the cache too) and I cant seem to find any other app that would have a routine or alarm associated with it.

 

The worst part of this hidden alarm is that I cannot turn the [your preferred explitive]  thing off! I've tried closing all apps, hitting the buttons on the side of the phone, opening and then closing my clock app (which is now completely empty) but nothing works. I have to completely turn off my phone to get it to stop. There is nothing on my phone to indicate I have an alarm about to start or actively going off.

 

I haven't installed any new updates lately and my phone is up to date so I have no clue what triggered this to suddenly start. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much! Clearing Clock data worked! Been trying to turn off that **bleep** alarm for the past month. I've been having to wake up and dismiss the alarm every day!

It worked in my mobile a50 too. i have set alarm 6.30. But the alarm has not been set in clock. So since last month I have waken up at 6:30 am without any reason. Thank you so much for that question and thank you for that effective suggestion too.

Thank you for raising this up here, I have been struggling with the same thing for years since each time I buy a new phone, it's a Samsung, and always restored data from my Samsung account. I would have never figured this out. Quite a silly feature if you ask me, cos you shouldn't have any hidden alarm going off that you can't see on your list of alarms.

Turns out that I've been waking up at 6:00 am every day because my phone has 2 clocks.  The alarm was hidden in the samsung clock.  I never would have found it without a little help.

Thanks,

I am so glad to find this thread as I was a little unluckier than the others on here and had a hidden alarm set at 4am, I'm pretty sure I woke up my whole family in my confusion trying to turn it off but at least it'll be a one time thing.

I kinda noticed the alarm icon at the top of my phone screen but couldn't for the life of me figure out why it was there, so thanks for finding the solution of why I'm up way earlier than I should be :)
