Strange...
Can you install deborphan:
sudo apt install deborphan
Once installed, enter in terminal:
deborphan
It will produce a list; can you relay that list here?
You can run
sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge
To remove the orphaned packages.
Also the link Bourne posted suggests:
sudo find / -iname freecad.desktop -print
Odd. It's not running. Nothing generates.
If you enter it and there is no output and the terminal just makes a new $ line, then that means that there was no output.
Try the other line:
sudo find / -iname freecad.desktop -print
Only got this thick blinking thingy and then:
kevin@keevie-XPS-13-9343:~$ sudo find / -iname freecad.desktop -print [sudo] password for kevin: find: ‘/run/user/1000/doc’: Permission denied find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied kevin@keevie-XPS-13-9343:~$
That means none found.
I'm stumped.
As far as I understand how apps are shown in the app menu - this should not happen.
The only way I can see to get rid of the annoyance at this point is to use Alacarte to uncheck the entry for Freecad.
But, it's only cosmetic and not a true removal, right?
Well, you already removed the program. There's just something that is still telling you it is there.
So I mean, it's a near true removal.
Uhh...
If you click on the Freecad Icon in the app menu - it does fail to launch, right?
Yeh. Spinning thingy for maybe 10 seconds thn nothing loads.
I just installed it and shows this command path.
Well that shows it's a flatpak!
Yeah use Alacarte to uncheck the entry - problem solved. LOL
Yay. I don't see it anymore.
Hopefully someone can figure out the bug and get this fixed. LOL.
I already gave up on Snap and Flatpak quite some time ago for very the reason you've just experienced. I now make it a habit to install apps in Terminal or Synaptic to dodge Snap/Flatpak traps.
I just noticed the "Main Menu" shortcut in the menu. Was it always there or after installing menulibre? There's options to add or remove shortcuts there. LOL
Comes with Zorin OS.
I guess, I didn't have to search go thru all the fuss in the first place. LOL.
I forgot about the "remove entry" option it has, too.
I knew it could add an entry...
