Cannot remove a widget

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
