Hey all,

So as the title says, Im unable to remove the icons from the Start menu "app" section, not a huge deal, but makes it look ugly having a whole bunch of unusable tiles there

so I followed Brink's walk-through

http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/20705-apps-screen-add-remove-items-windows-8-a.html

and still having them there and not able to be deleted..

when you right click the icon - choose Open FIle Location - then delete the shortcut or folder from start menu
may have to do it for %user% and %allusers%
