    Any ideas?

    It also goes into your messages folder... just delete it like you would any email from that folder and it will go away.

    I had the same problem, I deleted through the messages folder just by hitting "M" while in my SMS folder, but other people say a battery pull solves it, though I've never had to do that.

    No messages and battery pull doesn't solve

    I have to delete app world if I can't find then.


    thx for your help

    Make sure your messages folder is not hidden... There are 3 folders you need to check... The SMS folder, email folder and Messages folder...it should be in one of those folders. Good luck!

    Thanks! It was Poynt. Even after I upgraded the icon remained. Had to go into the message list and delete the upgrade notification, then the annoying icon immediately went away.

    Hello everybody. I found this forum in a search.

    Every time I restart my phone, the blackberry app world ALWAYS displays a red circle with a white asterisk in it. Very annoying. There were never any updates or messages. I figured that it was just app world spamming me to download all their apps. So I deleted app world entirely. And now my phone has tons of free space. Should I have deleted app world?

    Only you can answer that.
    Do you want any further apps, or updates to your existing ones?
