You could wait a day or two, cause occasionally they'll appear again somehow
9 hours using mv method, and still doesn't came up, hope for last.

I have this installation icon on my home screen but I have no idea why add I didn't try to install anything. This showed up after i ran out of battery and restarted after fully charging N9. Any ideas how to remove it? It says «Can't delete. Application does not exist». Thank you in advance.
[EDIT]
This is a temporary solution to manually delete these files:
http://talk.maemo.org/archive/index.php/t-82458.html
If you have multiple useless icons, try this(with devel mode enabled):
-Open terminal and enter:
1. devel-su
2. dbus-monitor --monitor
3. Try to uninstall the offending icon and you can see it's name
from dbus-monitor output (control-c to exit)
4. Remove the offending .desktop-file from /usr/share/applications/.....
If your problem isn't solved at all, try if "autoremove" remove your phantom icons.
In terminal: apt-get autoremove
But problem returns for every single app I uninstall...

I had this problem after OTA to PR1.2. I never did sort it! I had a Thread on it too! but when i upgraded to PR1.3 i made sure i did it with a computer and completely wiped the phone.
Haven't had this problem since. but its very annoying! If it happens again I'll have to try this

It seems that there is a bigger problem...
Whichever application is uninstalled, it leaves behind an empty installation icon on desktop. Only solution is to also remove the guilty application icon from /usr/share/applications/installer-extra directory.
Does anyone have any clue how to fix this? Otherwise, whenever i uninstall anything, i also have to manually delete the respective ghost .desktop file from the /usr/share/applications/installer-extra directory...

There is a manual solution for this problem but I am afraid no permanent one... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...35#post1323335

I also have the same problem. Did the mv method worked, and if so, to which folder did you move those entries?

Problem gets stranger... Now, if I uninstall any app, all previous manually deleted download icons return!
I checked multiple threads without real solution:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83359
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=80566
Any ideas?

installer-extra is not a ghost directory; the files being there are right...
When you uninstall an application it deletes the .desktop file too; why it isn't happening for you i don't know...
Any idea when this started happening? After installing/uninstalling a specific app?
Can you post outputs of:

- Re-download from nokia store and remove from applications UI
- Re-download from nokia store and remove using apt-get remove

- Re-download using apt-get and remove from applications UI

- Re-download using apt-get and remove using dpkg -r (and -P)
(I haven't try to remove using the "x" button while editing home screen as it caused the problem for me).
Unfortunately, nothing worked.
But magically, they disappeared by themselves today. I have no idea how this happened but I removed some others apps from the device earlier.
The apps that were causing problem: real football, trojita, memailsettings and n9qtweak.
The problem was solved when removing wazapp from device using the applications UI (because I was using the dev version and I wanted to go back to version 0.2.6). I reinstalled wazapp later and some others apps too (meeln and front camera) and the problem did not return.
I also rebooted the device and booted to nitdroid and back to meego and there are no arrows down icon on my home screen.
Download it at Maemo Garage or at extras-devel
