Created attachment 271194 [details] site On Ubuntu with gnome-shell 3.10.2.1-0ubuntu1~saucy1 I cannot uninstall the Workrave extension. It is also no longer on the extensions website. Please see screenshots from website and also lg. I cannot find it on my disk either: $ ls ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ alternate-tab@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com SkypeNotification@chrisss404.gmail.com

Maybe you did install a packaged version at some time? Is there anything in /use/share/gnome-shell/extensions?
Bingo, that is indeed the culprit. $ dpkg -S /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/workrave@workrave.org/ workrave-data: /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/workrave@workrave.org I have version 1.10.1-2 installed on latest up to date Ubuntu. Could https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ not show me the remove button and inform me, in as much practical detail as possible how that extension was installed? Also could lg provide me which that same information too? Fixing this would not offer remove buttons that don't work and give end-users insight in where to look to remove, report of fix certain problems.
