I also have duplicates in my Dash (saw several questions about this subject). But I don't know which one I need to remove.

I went to: /usr/share/applications

With grep I do get the following:

/$ grep -R 'Startup Applications' /usr/share/applications $HOME/.local/share/applications

/usr/share/applications/cinnamon-session-properties.desktop:Name=Startup Applications

/usr/share/applications/session-properties.desktop:Name=Startup Applications

Screenshot of my problem

Is there anyone who know how I can remove the second "Startup Applications"?

The two are actually different. One is for Cinnamon, the other is for Unity.

To fix:

Run this command:

sudo -H gedit /usr/share/applications/cinnamon-session-properties.desktop

Find this line:

Name=Startup Applications

Replace it with this (or similar):

Name=Startup Applications Cinnamon

Save & close the file.

The Startup Applications should now have different names.
