    I deleted some of the default applications from my Z10 (namely Foursquare, Dropbox, etc.). However, when I reboot the phone, the apps pop back up on my home screen. What's even stranger is that the icons for the apps are generic, and the apps won't actually open. Anyone else experience this?

    Here's a screen shot to better demonstrate what I'm talking about.

    I've had that happen on both the Dev Alpha and the PlayBook sometimes after sideloading. Just delete them and they should stay gone the second time.

    Having the same issue. Have deleted probably 10 times now and still shows up. Only twitter and box are reshowing. deleted foursquare and it stays deleted. Even went and redownloaded and went through my world to delete the app. still reappears after restarting the device.

    I tried a hard reset and am still having the issue. I'm sure it will be fixed with the next Os update

    Tried all three options for getting rid of it. Hold the icon down and press the trash bin in the corner, ghost app came back, went to bbworld and uninstalled, ghost app came back, went back to bbworld and deleted, ghost app came back. In order for it to show up in bbworld, I had to redownload the app. Its weird that it is only two apps that are coming back and not the other 4 pre-loaded apps I deleted.

    Looks like the new update from Rogers has solved this issue. Deleted Twitter, Foursquare and youTube. Restarted an no ghost apps
