NetBeans IDE 7.1 icon is not removed even after uninstallation. How do I remove that?

  • 772

I installed NetBeans IDE 7.1 in Ubuntu 18.04 using terminal by sudo sh netbeans...sh then it was not opening and I wanted to uninstall it. After I removed it using terminal. Still the shortcut exists in activities if I search. I could not find the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications. And NetBeans IDE 7.1 exists in Activities Without any icon associated with it.Screenshots attached.

  • Netbeans IDE 7.1 in Activities - Netbeans IDE 7.1 in Activities
  • /usr/share/applications - /usr/share/applications
uninstall java netbeans

    I found the Solution: use ezame to find the .desktop file:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caldas-lopes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ezame

    then find its location and delete the .desktop file.
