I’m really disappointed in you guys, why do you make such low-level mistakes, I accidentally selected the Rinkeby network, and it reminded me that the network is disabled, I can’t turn off this prompt, I can only switch networks, but choose to switch networks, The network window is one level down and I can’t select another network ![1687075149(1)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/metamask/original/3X/9/f/9f590a38945ef159d992a49d69a5957f7696bd29.png) ---

Check this should help you: > [@Metamask error doesnt go away and prevents me using the extension](https://community.metamask.io/t/metamask-error-doesnt-go-away-and-prevents-me-using-the-extension/25909): > > In MetaMask i selected the Rinkyby network which has been depreciated. I get an error popup saying “The current rpc url for this network has been deprecated.” which is the correct error, however the problem is the X button to close the error doesnt work and the Switch Network button opens the list of networks behind the error box. This means that i can no longer use MetaMask because the error is permanently displayed and i cannot select anything behind it. Closing chrome and restarting my lap… ---

@user2294 @user2294 Do you know and keep your seed phrase in a safe place? If so, then probably reinstalling the wallet will solve this problem. ❗❗❗ do not do this if you do not remember your seed phrase or it’s lost! ---

Reproduce the problem: Switch the MetaMask network to Rinkeby or another deprecated network. Problem: The UI layer freezes and cannot close prompts or use MetaMask. Solution steps: Open the MetaMask developer tools and find the element with ID “popover-content”. Delete that element. At this point, the stuck UI layer disappears, and you can normally close other prompts and use MetaMask. The MetaMask network succe… ---
