As the tittle says
How do i go about deleting Duplicated Icons from Programs Group?
without uninstalling the program itself? :confused:
WM6.1 doesn't provide you any option to delete icons
Thanks

Go to windows>start menu>programs and delete what you want from there.

that's exactly what i'm doing, it has no option to delete
i tried holding down the click, and no context menu come up
even if i just highlight the icon, there is no menu option to delete

If you tap and hold, a menu has to drop and delete is on it. Is this for the Advantage (assuming so from your signature).

first, try to uninstall these duplicate programs from the settings menu, if you can't, and you are sure you want to delete them, open file explorer, and navigate to windows-start menu-programs and delete the duplicates.

as i mentioned on my first post, the only way to fix it that i found is to uninstall and delete everything.
but i don't want to go that route, is hella annoying having to do all that work, just to delete some duplicated icons.
i did also try holding the menu down, and i did say the context menu does not provide you an option to delete whatever you have highlighted in the program view.

Don't use the built-in file explorer, but " Total commander or resco explorer..."
to delete what you don't need.... :)

Why do you say that is the only way? it is NOT! I modify the programs menu all time... did you read my post above?! if you did, try it, if you try and have a problem, report back with the problem, as specific as possible. aaand, any explorer would work.
