Default Icons still in app drawer after moving and renaming APK's

I have a question after I rooted my phone. I have moved a few .apk's from the system/app folder to a separate area, and changed their extensions to .bak. My problem is they are still in my app drawer, and apps that are installed after the process explained. I am curious if this is just how it works after I do this process, or if their is some way to get rid of the icons out of the drawer and installed applications after they have been disabled.

(Please move this if needed, I believe it is in the wrong section? Didnt even look when I posted, it was just the area I was in!)

You need to reboot. Cache has to flush.

It's a lot easier if you just use titanium backup. Its worth the money, you can freeze them, and be done work it all.
