Remove previous menu item for netbeas

[shantha]

Hi,

I installed NetBeans 5.5.1, then upgraded ubuntu and installed NetBeans 6.5.1.
Finally I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and installed NetBeans 6.8.

I tried to uninstall those unwanted previous versions of NetBeans using

:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove netbeans5.5

:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove netbeans6.5

But it gives message

:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove netbeans5.5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package netbeans5.5 is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.


The problem is there is no installed version of NetBeans 5.5.1 and 6.5.1 but there are two menu items


Applications -> Programming ->NetBeans 5.5.1
Applications -> Programming ->NetBeans 6.5.1

Can anybody help me on this regards to remove those menu items from the system with remaining files if there is any?

Regards,
Shantha.

Welcome to the forums :-)

What happens when you click those menu entries? Nothing I hope.

If they are just menu entries (as the program is not installed any more), go to System > Administration > Main Menu and tweak the Menus accordingly.

Thanks for the reply.

It worked for me.

The path is bit different in my system.
System -> Preferences -> Main Menu.

Hope there is no affect to the system by just deleting those items. I assume there is no remaining files or any settings relevant to them.
