I upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. I have dozens (and dozens) of applications with no name or icon in Dash.

Where are these coming from? How can I clean them up?

Apps with no name

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions. It turns out these were all coming from:

~/.local/share/applications/menu-xdg

I "deleted" this folder and everything is fine now.

Cheers.

The problem was coming from files in:

~/.local/share/applications/menu-xdg

I made a backup of "menu-xdg" then deleted it. Everything is fine now.
