top bar icon removal

Asked by Keith Largue

I have icons left from applications I have removed(typically a red circle with a line through it) how can I remove them ? I have tried to cancel but all I get for actions are "launch" and "properties"

Look at the command you ran, then look at the command I gave. Pay attention to SPACES.

Does your desktop look like this:

The second choice is what it looks like
as for a simple search would have shown me that, a simple question in english would have assisted
