How can I remove icon of uninstalled application from application lens in Dash?
I installed cardapio and its icon was in launcher as well in application lens in dash.
When I unistalled cardapio, its icon vanished from the launcher (as it should) but the icon is still present in application lens in Dash.
Is there a way to get rid of it?
unity-dash uninstall cardapio

unity-dash uninstall cardapio
You should probably also file a bug towards the package you used for installation; packages should remove all traces (except maybe configuration) when uninstalled.

Did you log out and back in after the removal of cardapio. Changes to unity lenses might only happen after that.

yes, I did numerous times! Unfortunately, the cardapio icon in applications lens is persistent!

Well, with help from this askubuntu question I carried out the suggestion of florian-diesch to
grep cardapio ~/.local/share/applications/*
and there was cardapio.desktop
. I deleted it and now the cardapio
icon does not show up any more among the applications in dash.
Thank you all for your willingness to help me solve my problem.

I had the same issue. First I uninstalled the application, then I deleted all references from the following folder:
/usr/share/applications
/usr/local/share/applications
~/.local/share/applications
Rebooted....
If not install this MENU editor:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caldas-lopes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ezame
and delete unwanted icons.

try to run in terminal
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/cardapio.desktop
this will remove it from launcher, after that:
sudo apt-get remove cardapio && sudo apt-get autoremove
why move to /opt (will stay there forever) instead of /tmp (will be removed on next boot) or directly delete?

Open files. Then go to other locations and select the drive which ubuntu is installed on.
Search your application name by simply typing its name. In your case search "cardapio".
Open terminal and navigate to where the search results show files related to your app.
Then use
sudo rm -rf <File name here>
for all of the files than should be deleted.

I had the same issue. First I uninstalled the application, then I deleted all references from the following folder:
/usr/share/applications
/usr/local/share/applications

Rebooted....
If not install this MENU editor:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caldas-lopes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ezame
and delete unwanted icons.

You should probably also file a bug towards the package you used for installation; packages should remove all traces (except maybe configuration) when uninstalled.
