removing dead citrix apps from applications menu?

  • 772

Once upon a time I visited my employer's citrix portal to connect to a work computer from home using a citrix-ified version of windows remote desktop. It worked pretty well, but unfortunately, whatever it had me install created faux application icons for every dang app my very large employer packed up as a citrix app. That was bad enough, but since upgrading to 24.04 these apps are now nonfunctional, and I would like to remove them.

I have tried to even find these "apps" in

  1. software updater
  2. synaptic
  3. apt
  4. apt-get
  5. dpkg
  6. snap

And can't seem to find them registered w/any of those facilities.

I would like to remove these entries & clean up my application menu. Is there a way to do it (without e.g., reinstalling the os or anything else drastic)?

A portion of my application menu, with garbage apps moved into 'unnamed folders'

    You may find these as desktop entries in /home/(your-user-name)/.local/share/applications

    If that is where they are, you should be able to delete them from there.
