Hi

You'll need to reinstall Evernote first. If you don't have the file, get another via the Evernote download page.

When installed in the Applications folder, open Evernote. Then, go to the Evernote Menu and open Preferences. In the Clipping panel, uncheck the Safari option. Close Evernote.

Restart Safari. The icon ought to be gone.

To remove Evernote completely from your system, via the Finder, drag Evernote from the Applications folder to your trash. Also, in your User Account>Library>Applications Support, drag the Evernote folder to the trash. Finally, in Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder, trash the com.evernote.Evernote.plist file.

Empty the trash.

The console messages for this are hilarious:

Now I know why an elephant never forgets: it keeps reminding itself of things every microsecond!

Hey guys i was having this exact same problem this morning.
What I did was go into the trash where i put whatever remains of evernote i could find. like you guys all said i couldn't empty my trash completely. so what i did was right click on each of them and click 'show contents of folder.' I moved everything I could find of those contents into the trash. I found evernotehelper and moved it onto my desktop. (It looks like a paper with tools and a white stop sign over it.) From there I moved it onto my dock. Then I right clicked it and saw that that the option to 'open at login' was checked. I figured that was the problem so I unchecked it, then restarted my computer. Then I was able to finally move evernotehelper into my trash, tried to delete all the contents.
I hope this was clear enough to help you guys fix your problem if it was the same as mine. Good luck!
