I uninstalled all the LibreOffice apps under Software but this icon still shows and launches LibreOffice. I tried using the terminal to remove and purge but it can't find anything related to LibreOffice. Any ideas how I can get rid of this? Thanks.

It's my recollection that I've had this happen too, because it's not part of the main LibreOffice packages. If you're confident you don't have any LibreOffice packages still installed, check /usr/share/applications for any .desktop files related to LibreOffice. You might also check ~/.local/share/applications, but I'm fairly confident that the rogue .desktop file is in the former.
If you see a .desktop file in either location with LibreOffice in its name, you can delete it, and it should get rid of the shortcut. It might take a moment for the application menu to update, though.

Uninstall LibreOffice with all Stuff, You can with the Terminal Command sudo apt purge libreoffice-common and after that make a sudo apt autoremove to delete the Rest's but take a Look on what will be deleted before You delete it.

Asking out of curiosity, do you not need any office/Word processor on your computer, or are you using a different one?
This is also why it is good to have Synaptic Package Manager installed. Just search for libreoffice, then mark all packages for removal and click Apply.
