For packaged items that you really want to make it go away and not come
back you can do this:
dpkg-divert --rename --add
/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-timer.desktop
dpkg-divert --rename --add /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_timer.so
For widgets, they will immediately disappear from the system, there is
not need to reboot, or even so much as log out.
That will add a diversion to the package system so that it moves the
offending files out of the way that timer needs to run. The diversion
will persist till you tell it to stop diverting the files, so new
versions of the package will also have the timer files moved out of the
way automagically and will not make the timer widget come back.
To stop the diversion just run:
dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_timer.so
dpkg-divert --rename --remove
/usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-timer.desktop
And everything will be as it was.

Hmm, Yes it is the right one. But If read you correctly, you're saying
it is a "standard" widget included on everyone's install. Correct? I
added so many I may have confused it with one (I) added.
THANKS! Explains why there's no "un-install"

Are you sure you are looking at the correct plasmoid?
I just installed a widget and the one I installed shows an uninstall
button when I hover the mouse over it.
You can also do <cashew> -> addwidgets -> get new widgets -> download
new widgets
Then under oder by select "Installed". Everything you have installed
should how up there with a coresponding uninstall button.
While looking in the widgets list I noticed that I also have "timer" by
Davide Bettio. But mine was installed via normal packages. I suspect
you got yours the same way, so it's most likely another widget that
you are trying to get rid of.
If you really want to get rid of it you can uninstall the package
"kdeplasma-addons"
But be warned that it will also remove the following widgets:
Binary Clock
Black Board
Bookmarks
Bouncy Ball
Bubblemon
Calculator
Character Selector
Color Picker
Comic Strip
Dictionary
Eyes
Fifteen Puzzle
File Watcher
Fuzzy Clock
Icon Tasks

Kubuntu 12.10
I installed a timer widget from the widget download repository link.
"TIMER" by Davide Bettio
I cannot UN-INSTALL it. there is no un-install button. Arrrgghh
I did search the web, and found similar instructions. but they do not
pertain to 12.10 were not 'close enough' to provide a solution.
I would guess that if I knew WHERE it is, that would be most of what I
need. But I do not know what to look for.
Suggestions?
TIA
