How can I remove icon of uninstalled application from application lens in Dash?












8















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?

  • 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.

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?

    None of it worked for me.

    What i did





    1. CtrlAltT to run terminal


    2. sudo -i to log in as superuser

    3. enter your password

    4. cd .local/share/applications


    5. ls -l



      See if you see <your_app>.desktop in here. If you do, then issue
      rm -f -r <your_app>.desktop to delete the file

      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.

                • Thank you for your immediate replies. As I said, I have uninstalled the cardapio application. Its icon is not anymore in launcher. It only shows in (installed) application lens in dash.

                        Open files. Then go to other locations and select the drive which ubuntu is installed on.
