As shown in the image below, all the access points above the connected network are unused.

enter image description here

I want to remove this unused entries from the menu indicator. And I have already tried the solution explained here. The solution works perfectly fine until I log in again. The entries reappear after new login. I want these things to be permanently removed from the machine. Thanks in advance

Solution as per popular demand :)

This problem was so annoying that I decided to demolish the OS. But before that I decided to 'grep' the directories in doubt in the root. And surprise.... there they are in the bluetooth directory (/var/lib/bluetooth/-device_name-/names). After removing them from the bluetooth devices, the ghosts in the network indicator disappeared. Thus the peace restored.

  • So it sounds like you don't want to see those irrelevant access-points from the menu? e.g. You don't want to see "Dell store" again.

  • @P.-H.Lin above... I said above, not below the connected network Feb 12, 2015 at 9:07
  • Oh ok, I missed that part, thanks, how about trying to delete them within the "Edit Connections" option?

  • @P.-H.Lin thats the funny part, they are not even included in the 'Network Connections' entry. They are literally like ghosts. Feb 13, 2015 at 4:49
  • @theDistantStar I was on the edge of the same "Demolish OS" decision so you helped me a lot. Thank you mate!
