History:

When trying to adjust the appearance of my KDE Neon setup, I made a mistake and now I can’t figure out how to undo it. I was editing the applications in the stock Application Launcher. I can’t remember exactly what I did, but I made a second entry to an application (Ferdium) that was already installed and tweaked the “Program:” entry for it. Since then, I haven’t been able to use it. I even uninstalled the app, which removed the original application item, but I can’t remove the copied version.

Problem:

When I click on it in the KDE Menu Editor, it immediately crashes the editor and suggests that I report a bug. The bug error details read “Executable: kmenuedit PID: 3,152 Signal: Segmentation fault (11) Time: 10/25/23 6:16 PM”. I’ve submitted the bug, but haven’t heard anything about it in weeks. I might have submitted it without contact information, and if I try to resubmit it, it appropriately prevents me from submitting the bug again.

When I click on the application entry as if it to open it, I get an error stating, “execvp: No such file or directory”.

Any ideas on how I can remove the application from my application menu?

      are you sure you deleted all possible .desktop files pointing to that application? do you still see the entry if you open the menu with the Meta key?

        I thought I was. I looked again, and it was there. This time, I deleted it and it fixed it. Thank you!
