(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); well i think we all know those annoying xmb icons nobody uses
this is a tutorial to remove them, its easy and simple!
note: be careful in flash any bad actions may result in brick

pre requirements
    

* ps3_blind / abestOS

* any filemanager


Steps
    

1. run your app that allows read/write to flash




    

2. Exit and open up your filemanager




    

3. go to the directory: rw_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb




    

4. now find what icon you dont want (lets say netflix), find the .xml for it




    

5. Just delete it! (should make a backup first)




    

6. Restart PS3, DONE!


To delete the icon files

1. Go to rw_flash/vsh/resource/explore
then you should have icon/xmb/netflix/user

2. Pick any of those 3 except xmb then browse,copy and delete img files!
