I feel so stupid. I can't believe I forgot to mention right away I was using Nova. Thanks, it fixed the issue. Would be nice if they could modify that so it wouldn't happen.

Thanks for everyone's input!!

That one snuck by everyone . Sense, is more than just a launcher. It is what gives HTC an edge, as they probably have the best UI of the major manufacturers. Opinion obviously.

The reason that link was still there, is that it was just a shortcut to the app that was saved by Sense as your selection. Think of it just link when you install an app on Windows and manually create a shortcut to it on your Taskbar, or wherever. When you uninstall the app, it will only remove those items that the app installer placed... any shortcuts you made will still be there and will require manual deletion. The same thing is happening here, as those links are handled by Sense, and only directly controlled when using the Sense launcher.

There are not too many places for something like this to happen . If you had a Samsung or Motorola, you would not have been able to create the lockscreen shortcuts in the first place .

There is actually an app for that... making it so you no longer need Sense launcher to create and use the lockscreen shortcuts. I can link if needed, it is out on XDA somewhere. Someone wrote it up for exactly this 'problem'.

It all makes perfect sense after the solution is found. I rather like stick Sense but I also am a recover iPhone and jail breaker user. I wished for a little more. Nova gives me a few more tweaks I like. Especially the ability to put more icons on the screen. Im not a big fan of the app drawer idea. I don't mind pages with apps and besides, looks much better with widgets too. Another thing Apple won't allow.
