I was just playing with my phone and all of a sudden these icons appeared. The thing is that I can't erase them because when I try a message appears saying the app doesn´t exist


Anyone know how to erase them?

I had same problem. I tried everything to delete them, but I couldn't. So I flashed the phone. I do not know that is permanent solution maybe other guys have solution for this problem.

Do you have the terminal installed? If so, please show the output of

Code:
ls /usr/share/applications/
and

Code:
ls /home/user/.local/share/applications/
That way you might be able to spot any erroneous .desktop files and remove them.

I did a hard reset and the number of unnamed icons increased. It seems there's one for every app I had before the reset. Still no solution though :/

What's the status of your application updates? Any pending?

That icon is typically reserved for an application that is updating. If your update process is stuck or corrupted, that could explain it.

However, if that's the case at this point it would be difficult to fix without re-flashing.

Nope, there's one icon for every app I've uninstalled. When I reinstall one of the apps, one of the icons goes back to normal.

You are running 1.2 right? You don't mention that anywhere in this thread...
There was def. report for this in the tracker, at least a very closely related issue IIRC.
Tis worthwhile finding it, reopening (if closed, can't recall), & adding feed-back.

The screenshot shows a folder, so yeah, PR 1.2 . Sigh, I guess I'll look for it,
