Deleting items from the main menus cannot be undone so it is best to backup any items before you delete them.

  • Open the file manager (PCmanFM is the default, if you are not using it the following will not be of use to you)
  • Browse to
usr/share/applications
  • From the menu select --> Tools --> Open Current Folder as Root, a new instance of PCmanFM will open which will have root privilages
  • Copy the menu item you wish to delete you your backup folder
  • After copying the menu item to the backup folder you can delete it from usr/share/applications
