Hi,
No, restoring a trashed item is rarely the best way to stop a persistent notification. In most cases, restoring the file will only give the background process or app the data it needs to continue running, which might actually keep the notifications going or cause other system issues.
The notification is likely popping up because a background service, launch agent, or app is still trying to access that file and cannot find it.
