Nickel won’t uninstall
I saw a post from a bit ago of someone who had a similar issue. I cannot remove the nickel menu icon from the corner of my Libra. I’ve tried the uninstall file and just deleting the program. I even factory reset it twice but it still shows the nickel menu in the corner. Any way that I can fix this?

You can't delete the program since the program lives in the system partition which is not accessible over a USB connection.
Since you stated that you created a zero length file called uninstall (case sensitive!) in .adds/nm, restarted your Kobo and NickelMenu was not removed, that suggests something is seriously hooped on your Kobo. You might want to post in the NickelMenu: An integrated launcher for Kobo eReaders thread. Another item is that unless you have enabled developer mode and used the factory reset from Settings => Device settings => Developer Options => Factory reset your eReader or used a manual factory reset, the system partition will not be reset to factory and NickelMenu would not be removed. |

Do you mean Nickel (the native Kobo reading interface) OR Nickel Menu (an add-on by pgaskin for Kobo)?
You are creating the uninstall file in the correct location? With the device attached to your computer create a file in the .adds/nm/ directory called uninstall I know the documentation says KOBOeReader/.adds/nm/uninstall but the KOBOeReader part is just referring to where the eReader is mounted on your computer.
