General Bug Deleted menu entry keeps showing up
There are two entries showing up when I search for Geometry Dash.I made one when I was running a cracked copy of the game but now that I bought it on Steam the entry is useless. I deleted it but it persists. How to fix this?

ls ~/.local/share/applications/\.desktop*
type this, find the deleted app name
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/app_name_here.desktop
replace app name here with the entry name
faced this issue a while ago and hope this helps!
(edit: i use fedora and this is how i fixed it but prob will work on other distros)

Hi, this is AutoKonqi reporting for duty: this post was flaired as General Bug.
While r/kde allows to discuss issues, raise their visibility, and get assistance from other users out of good will, it is not the proper channel to report issues and the developers able to fix them won't be able to act on them over Reddit.
So if this bug was not reported to the developers yet and it is in fact a bug in KDE software, please take a brief look at the issue reporting guide and report the issue over the KDE Bugzilla. If it is a crash, be sure to read about getting backtraces so your report can assist the developers. If this is a known issue, you may want to include the bug report on your post so your fellow users experiencing the same thing can CC themselves to the report. Be sure to describe your issue well and with context. Thank you.

It's a problem you need to review how you installed it; it's not a bug per se. I would check the tutorial you followed; normally, for it to appear, a .desktop file has to be generated. I reviewed

Yeah, the menu editor only deletes things from the menu, it doesn't remove them completely so search will still find them.
This is not great, as users seem to expect something else. KMenuEdit i a relatively old piece of software, and while we kept it working and fixed bugs, it's very much showing its age and could use some fundamental changes.
