I don't understand why I need the reinstall unless Kobo physically removes files on the rescan.

Anyway thanks for the help. I like to understand what is going on under the hood.
Kobo treats those now excluded files as being removed from the device so to keep things consistent, they remove the files.

As for those 3 files, I suspect they are the icons used by KFMon to launch the programs. I use NickelMenu to launch so I deleted those files.

I tend to be the same why which is why I have a Clara HD to experiment with and a Forma to read on. If I'm going to experiment, a device such as the Clara HD with it's removable internal μSD card is essential if I don't want to indulge in brick production.

Edit: the KOReader and KFMon icons should be in the root of your Kobo's exposed storage while the Plato icon is in the icons folder in the root of the storage.
