    Reset Gnome Menu Bar

    I moved all the games from Games to a different folder, but decided to reset, i did revert and my custom menu renamed to alacarte-made-1, and then got deleted..

    how can i reset the menu back to when i first installed it?

    When you remove something from the default menu, the menu entry is copied to ~/.local/share/applications/ and a flag "Hidden=true" is added to it.

    Code:
    grep 'Hidden' ~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop
    Deleting all the entries with Hidden=true from there should make them reappear (unless it's entries you've added yourself)

    Just browse to the directory using nautilus (the filemanager). .local is a hidden directory, so you might have to hit Ctrl+H to toggle showing hidden files and directories. Then mark the files in .local/share/applications you want to delete, and delete them.
