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).
