Question How to Clear Old HDD Notice

[accesscpu_]

I noticed in SeaTools that my Seagate Iron Wolf gives me a notice stating that "SMART over-all health passed, but at least one of the SMART attributes breached the threshold in the past."

I checked the log, and the error is coming from the "Air Flow Temperature - Failed in the Past."

So I tried moving that drive from the slot underneath in my case to the open-air spot up front by the fans, to make sure it's getting more air-flow. But the notice still persists in SeaTools. I'm not even sure if this happened recently, or on my old system (where this drive originally was housed) and it just saved it from the past.

Is there a way to clear/reseat this attribute, so I can get an updated reading to see if the air flow is good now?

No.
Erasing SMART data is not a user thing.

No.

The drive has a yellow exclamation/error notice on it, and I get this pop up notification about the old issue every time I load the program. Now that I've corrected the air-flow issue, is that not something I can correct (to see if it's now getting better air flow)? Seems like it should refresh somehow. I just need to force it to take a new reading.
