Resolved iFile - how do you remove an app/icon from the springboard?

I have a problem which can be found on a well known computer site (not sure if we can link) under the thread title "Upgrading after jailbreak...?"

Basically i ended up downloading iFile to remove an app that wouldn't delete. I can't find it in /var/mobile/Applications, yet it's still on my springboard.

The people on the computer site i asked on seem to have run out of ideas.

Any idea how i use iFile to do this?

The app is Fifa 13.

In the applications i can find every other app installed (i think), but this doesn't show.

how do i actually delete the icon & springboard caches? And more importantly, will this cause issues elsewhere in the phone?

By reboot, do you mean turn phone off & back on?

LOL...what app is it? If it is a Cydia app then it should be in /Applications folder. Also delete your icon cache (/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.IconsCache) and springboard cache (/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.springboard), and reboot.
