Does anyone know how I can get rid of the unnecessary @._koreader icon?
Apologies for replying to an old message, but couldn't find a solution in this thread. I've been having this same issue, and seem to have solved it.

When I open up the applications folder inside the mounted volume of my PocketBook (Verse Pro) using VS Code, I can see (hidden) files in the files explorer sidebar.

These files are prefixed with "._" and seem to have been the cause for adding the "@._koreader" apps/icons to my "User's" section (see screenshot).

After deleting these files (._Jailbreak.app, ._koreader, ._koreader.app, etc) and rebooting, the unnecessary @._SomeApp icons are gone.

Not 100% why these hidden files are not visible in Finder though, even with hidden files visible in MacOS.

Since deleting these files, and changing a few app icons, I've noticed a few other instances of this happening, for me with ._view.json and view.json, as well as some icons.

Wonder if this is PocketBook's OS way of doing backups.
