I've installed conky-all through the terminal to play around with it and realized it's too much effort and fiddling around just so the screen looks pretty ect.
So deleted it again through terminal (apt remove conky-all and apt purge conky-all) . But now conky manager is still stuck in my menu under accessories and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've deleted the conky file in .local/share/applications. I've looked at synaptic packages but it shows its not installed.
How can I get rid of the menu item?
It doesn't bother me really it just bugs me that it's there and I can't get rid of it lol.
Thanks

Re: conky delete
conky and conky-manager are separate packages entirely.
If you're on Mint 18.x:
If you're on Mint 19.x, where conky-manager does not install from default repo, but added some 3rd party ppa and/or did compile tweaks:
If you're using conky-manager2:
If you're on Mint 18.x:
Code: Select all
apt purge conky-manager
Code: Select all
apt purge conky-manager
#then you can remove ppa source using "software source" program
Code: Select all
cd conky-manager2
sudo make uninstall
Re: conky delete
thanks ,but none of that worked.
i already tried purge conky manager ,it says unable to locate package conky-manager.
i tried cd conky-manager2 ,it says no such file or directory.
i've looked at all the conky things in software manager , its not installed (conky-manager.. there's no such package)
this is mind boggling lol

Re: conky delete
Look at the output of
That should remove it from the menu if there was one there. Don't ask me why the desktop file wasn't removed during the uninstall.
ls -l /usr/share/applications
and if you see some conky thing there copy the name of the .desktop file then run sudo rm /usr/share/applications/paste-the-filename-here

Re: [SOLVED]conky delete
Well, in that case, check this:
if you get functional output other than "no access - file or directory does not exist"
then run:
and just the same in case of conky manager 2:
