Removing a menu entry

[bugfree]

Hello, 
Have installed Teamviewer10 before removing Teamviewer9.  : 10 happily installed itself over 9 and works fine from the Menu.

However, I now have Teamviewer10 and Teamviewer9 as Menu entries. In the Menu edit box, there is just one entry for Teamviewer10. How do I remove the rogue Teamviewer9 entry from the Main Menu.
Thanks!

Open Synaptic and search for teamviewer, if version 9 is there remove it, leave 10 in there.

Hi Bugfree,
Has this problem been fixed?

Hello Scott,
Just noticed your note. Sorry about that!

Both Teamviewer 10 and Teamviewer 9 are still in the menus.
In synaptic Teamviewer10 is marked as installed and Teamviewer9 as uninstalled. Unable to remove the uninstalled Teamviewer9 entry. Not a problem, as 10 works fine, just a nuisance having a meaningless entry in the Main Menu.

Cheers!

Hi bugfree,

May I suggest to run:

Code:

ls -l /usr/share/applications/teamviewer*

I would assume an entry there for version 9 too. If this is the case you could either delete it or edit the desktop file and add a line to hide it:

Code:

Hidden=true

Hope that helps

If the file is not in /usr/share/applications/, look in /home/<user>/.local/share/applications/.

the files there are not all named properly. some are just 'alacarte-made.desktop'. You have to look in the launcher properties for each the find out which one is for TeamViewer 9. Just delete that file.
