Reddit icon not removed with the application

[Ilya Shaisultanov]

I installed Reddit webapp (unity-webapps-reddit) by clicking "ok" in a Firefox popup. Webapp turned out to be useless (icon is always blue) and I decided to remove it.

I removed it from Software Center, but icon in notification center wasn't removed. I went into terminal and typed "sudo apt-get purge unity-webapps-reddit". This cause some activity (even though it was supposed to be removed). Icon still stayed. After repeating the above command I saw that package wasn't installed at this point.

I tried rebooting, reinstalling/removing etc and it wouldn't go away. However, after some digging around, I found that deleting file /home/username/.local/share/applications/redditredditcom.desktop removes the icon from notifications.

I'd expect this to happen either automatically or, since it's in $HOME and removing user's data is not the best idea, have something in notifications menu to get rid of items I don't want/need.
