How could the desktop entries?

If you known how they named, use
Code: [Select]
locate *.desktopIf they located in /usr/share/applications
try as root
Code: [Select]
rm /usr/share/applications/*.desktop
when the are located in $HOME/.local/share/applications
try
Code: [Select]
rm $HOME/.local/share/applications/*.desktop
Regards
Daniel
