Ok, I'd try 2 things
First go into your home directory and enable hidden files View-->Show Hidden Files
then go to the .adobe folder and trash the Flash_Player folder in there.
then in a terminal type
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
This will install the latest version of the flashplayer and remove the beta version you currently have installed
If you don't want to use a terminal you could install it with the package manager. Just search for adobe-flashplugin

I'm out of ideas for your flash problem but for the autoremove issue try
instead of apt-get autoremove
