It's 2024. This is still the case... 

And it does not only happen apps that are still installed - I just had the
problem of a sticking entry of an application I tested an deleted afterwards.
Th is is on Opensuse Tumbleweed with the latest iteration of KDE Plasma: 

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240212
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12
Kernel Version: 6.7.4-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

Also the general recommendation seems to be to delete *.desktop files referring
to the application in ~/.local/share/applications ... 
This still doesn't work - the application launcher still finds the entries of
the deleted app. 

The remedy is to search for and delete the referring *.desktop files in 

~/.local/share/applications and
/usr/share/applications

But this recommendation is not a solution! - Users can't be expected to clean
out application link files in hidden system folders.   

The solution should be to make the menu editor to delete these entries in the
users home folder and hide those in the system folder from the application
search in the kickoff menu. 

thx. p.
