In Dash the Chrome icon shows up twice under applications, one that says "Google Chrome" and a non-functional one that reads Amazon.com:J....-Google chrome. I have tried purging the Chrome app yet the Amazon related icon remains. How do I get rid of it?

  • Have you checked your search setting in System Settings -> Security & Privacy to turn off online search results? Jan 16, 2014 at 11:39
  • Yes, I have had that off for many months now. This icon has only appeared and is related to a page in Amazon I had only recently accessed.

  • In System Settings -> Security & Privacy under the Files & Application tab did you try the Clear Usage Data... button? Jan 17, 2014 at 10:54
  • No, I had not tried that but I just did it to no effect.

  • If this is still present, have you tried Right clicking on the icon to see if you can delete or uninstall? Jan 21, 2014 at 18:18

I found a file "google-chrome-stable.desktop" that contained the Amazon.com information of the icon. This was in ~/.local/share/applications. Deleting that file removed the icon from Dash and has solved my issue.
