Two shortcuts for BleachBit are created in "Show Applications" space in Ubuntu 20.04

  • 772

I installed the BleachBit application from Ubuntu Software on my Ubuntu 20.04. BleachBit installed two shortcuts in the "Show Applications" space. Both the shortcuts open same app.

So, my question is how to delete one shortcut?

gnome-shell bleachbit

  1. The two shortcuts are intentional. One shortcut is for launching BleachBit as a normal user, but the normal user cannot clean system files under /usr and /var, so the second shortcut launches BleachBit as root to clean those other files. Assuming you want to clean everything, you need both.

    If you still want to delete a shortcut, look for its .desktop file under /usr/share/applications.

    By the way, you also posted this question today on another site, and this can create extra work by having multiple people answer a single question.
