Just tested in a clean bionic VM.

I'm not seeing gnome shell extensions listed in the "Installed" section, not sure whether they are supposed to show up there?
As for regular applications, I removed vim, and it disappeared from the list, as expected.

@Jeb: can you describe a concrete use case where you remove an application and it's still listed in the "Installed" section?

Hey @olivier.tilloy,

Waiting for other installations to finish followed by a restart of the
machine resolved the issue.
