Applications menu indicator keeps showing when deactivated

  • 772

This morning I went to the Gnome extensions website to update my extensions. However, when I upgraded the "Applications Menu" extensions I got an error message and it automatically uninstalled.

The problem is that now the Application Menu Indicator keeps showing no matter is disabled in the Tweeks menu.

I also tried to restart the session and the computer but nothing happens.

Gnome 3.28.2
Ubuntu 18.04

Edit 1:
This is what happens when I enter in the terminal:

sudo rm -r '/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions'

Details: Before - Before the restart - After the restart (Hasn't worked yet).

Edit 2:

gnome-shell-extension-tool -d [email protected]

I entered this code in the terminal, here's an image Before / After the restart. It actually worked, Thanks.

    The extension threw an error during an update, but it doesn't seem it was disabled or removed. To disable the extension run the following command in Terminal

    gnome-shell-extension-tool -d [email protected]

    To remove it completely, go to your ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ directory and delete the folder associated to the extension, i.e. a folder titled [email protected]. Then restart your GNOME Shell or re-login or reboot your system.

    Note: The option you see in the Tweaks app (as in the second screenshot) titled 'Application Menu' is not for the 'Applications Menu' extension (mind the extra 's').
    The option is to dictate whether the menu of an application would appear in the application window title-bar or the global top-bar (bottom one in your case). When it's turned off, the menu should appear in the window title-bar. So the option is working as intended as the menu appears in your Tweaks window title-bar (application icon at the left end, before the 'search' icon).
