Solution 1
Certain desktops come with a menu editor, in which you could remove the entries.
Else, open the directory .local/share/applications/
in a terminal or file browser and remove the .desktop files you don't need any longer.
Solution 2
All the applications exist as .desktop
files in /usr/share/applications
To remove a particular entry -
cd /usr/share/applications
sudo rm <name-of-application>.desktop

I installed Star Wars: Battlefront 2 through Wine and then I uninstalled it. But icons for that game are still in my all applications panel. There is icon for another game also.
I want to remove those icons. How do I do that ? I am using Linux Ubuntu GNOME (14.10).
