How can I delete the so called "Special" (it is a SIM Card thing) or how to move it in any folder?If I try do do this,it always come back to app list view when I rebooted the phone.

I created a 'System' folder and could simply move the icon in there. But deleting the file in /usr/share/applications/ should work fine also. simkit.desktop is the one to go for. ;)

What happens after a reboot?On my Jolla there came the icon back and not in this folder,but in app list!That is not my wish and solution!

Perhaps asking the obvious, but once removed, can one reinstall it again just as easily with pkcon install simkit?

Guess so. ;)

Thank you very much-this command is what I`m looking for and it works great!No matter,if this thing will come back after a system update.

I put it in a folder but it is outside of this folder every time I reboot... annoying! So uninstalling it was the only way.
