    Unable to removed pinned item from start menu

    I have just upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Pro (August 7th 2015) and have been creating tiles for the start menu. When I first opened the start menu I removed all of the default live tiles so I could make my own custom tiles, I successfully
    created custom tiles linked to a custom library.

    However, I have now decided I wish to remove this tile and am unable to do so, when I select unpin from start menu the item does not remove whatsoever. When I created the tile I did so in the following manner:

    1. Created a shortcut to the library on my desktop

    2. Right clicked, and selected 'Pin to Start'

    3. Opened the start menu and it was there

    This single tile is causing great trouble for me as I am unable to fully customise my start menu, especially as it is in the way of other tiles I wish to create.

    I've been quite impressed with a program called 'TileIconifier'. With this, it's possible enlarge the program's own embedded icon so that it fills the tile. It is also possible to use custom made images that will do the same. Works with medium and small tiles.

    I found it doesn't work with all tiles. Not with Microsoft Office ones for instance. Others have been OK using the program's own embedded icons while others have been better using custom made images. This is dependent on the icons supplied with programs. TileIconifier is quite a good program and I thought it worth a mention. It is still being actively developed by the look of it. Below is a screenshot of some 'Iconified' tiles.

    Yes, that's true, it doesn't need any other app to work. The program has improved since I started using it. It lists the Start Screen tiles but can miss some of them. There wasn't a way that I could find to make the program include them. The latest version has overcome that by giving a way to browse to a program and use its icon ..or an image.
