Open File Explorer and find the icon in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs. Then delete it.

Similar problem, I installed Tube application, then updated and had to re-install after a hard reset. i now have 6 icons in total for application under programs, despite deleting everwhere I could find it. Have tried above fix, but it does not display under file explorer either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

maybe the shortcut is hidden from explore or something
try the program totalcommander it let you see hidden files

programs really just show all the shortcuts placed in those dir's
and settings just show all cpl files located in windows

I strongly recommend you for permanent use Resco File Explorer, which can show you ALL files (including HIDDEN). This problem can been solved by means of it.
