Unavailable game still shows in collection in itch app

Hi; on the itch desktop app (windows 7) I have a collection called 'Wishlist' that includes the game Cultist Simulator (Perpetual Edition). I probably added it a long time ago, and it seems the game has since been removed from itch.io.  I want to remove Cultist Simulator from this collection, but I can't! I only see it there in the app, I don't seem to have a way to remove it, and when I click on it it sends me to this 404: https://alexiskennedy.itch.io/cultist-simulator-perpetual-edition

This isn't a big bug but it's going to bother me since I bought the game and don't want it under Wishlist anymore. Seems like the game shouldn't show up in my collections if it's been removed :)

You have to access this URL from within the desktop application: https://itch.io/my-collections

From there, you should see options to move/remove the item from a collection.

You can also access this URL from any web browser by logging in and doing it that way.

Sadly the item doesn't show on that URL, or under 'My Collections' on the browser; I only see it in the desktop app, at 'itch://collections/'. I'm pretty sure this is a programming bug where that view is showing an item that's been deleted from itch.io, and I can't find any option to remove it from the collection. 

Again this is a really minor thing and doesn't break anything! But it bugs me a little :^) if it doesn't get fixed I suppose I can delete the collection and make a new one without this game. 

Try to completely uninstall & purge the itchio desktop app (IDA) from your computer (aka removing the residuals and cache files also).

Once you do that, restart your computer and then redownload and reinstall the IDA and see if it is still an issue.

can itch.io be on kindle fire?
