How do I get rid of icons for removed programs?

[sawdust92]

I recently loaded a program, decided I did not want it after all, removed it but the icon still shows up on my settings page. How do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance. Sawdust92

There are a couple of things you can do.

1 is reload the program and then do a soft reset right before you uninstall it again...also make sure that it doent have a loader in the startup menu.

2 you can check the windows>start menu>settings folder to see if it is visible there and deleted.

3 you can Remover by SK (do a search, it may even be in the downloads section.

I had the same problem as well. Was advised by RobertCF as follows:

"Run File Explorer. If it defaults to showing you My Documents, click on the LOV (the down-arrow) and change to My Device. Scroll down to find the Windows folder and select that. Scroll down in the Windows folder and find the Start Menu folder and open that. In that folder you'll see the items that appear when you click on the START button, and you'll see a folder called PROGRAMS. Open that. This should be where you find all the icons for programs you've installed (unless you've created sub menus, in which case the sub menu folders will be here, too). Simply click and hold on each icon you want delete and select DELETE from the popup menu."

Umm... Sawdust92 I just reread your post and realized that your icon is in your settings and not programs page, so maybe the advice that I received might not work for you. Goog luck anyway.

I tried all of the things that each of you suggested. I was not able to get rid of the icon. I beamed all of my important information to my second unit and then had to do a hard reset to get rid of it. Thanks for all of your suggestions! Sawdust92
