How do I remove apps I no longer want?

[Android Central Question]

I read several threads about removing accuweather. They all state that when you installed it yourself, you can uninstall it too, whether it be under settings/apps, or in google play.

I did install accuweather myself. It was not on my Sony D6603 before. In the apps list there is no "accuweather", just weather. I did stop this app under settings. Nevertheless accuweather is still running. I can't find an option to deinstall it. Not on my phone, nor in google play.

So how do I go about getting rid of this peace of malware called accuweather?

Go to settings>apps>look for AccuWeather there. Also, it may be that you don't have AccuWeather, and just the phone's inbuilt weather app is drawing data from AccuWeather.

Under settings/applications accuweather isn't listed. I checked again. And the app wasn't on the phone before I installed it. This is quite visible because of the weather bar that sits on my home screen since the installation, and wasn't there before.
When I tap on this bar, it opens as accuweather.
I tried to find the app by going through the phone memory under settings memory explorer, but found no mention of it.

Accuweather as an app or the website? Could you show screenshots of this weather bar and what it looks like when opened?
