Only happens for this one save, so I'm going to provide it. As you can see from the save data, Shuttle Train Lite and Upgrade Planner are both uninstalled, yet ingame both mods' buttons still appear, albeit with a "no key" description and no function when clicked.

All other saves correctly remove the UI button when a mod is removed. I haven't tested any other mods than these two, but these two buttons have been messed up for a long time (Before the update that was supposed to fix this even)

Was the save created before 0.15.20~ ish? If so, then it's already fixed but the save is in a known bad state. New saves created since then handle modded GUI elements correctly.

Yes, it was, is there a way for me to get the icons removed?

Why is the GUI saved in the save anyways? Is it too processor-intensive to NOT save them and instead have the mods add their buttons every time the save is loaded?

You can use the Lua API to erase all of the buttons - modding help would probably work best for that.
