Re: delete menu items from application menu

Depends on the distro that you are using and if it ships with a menu editor (alacarte, menulibre). Try running one of those commands in a terminal window to see if it helps.

The manual way is to find the two screenshot desktop files in /usr/share/applications (or ~/.local/share/applications):

fgrep -ri "name=screenshot" /usr/share/applications

...and set:

NoDisplay=True

...for the entry that you don't want displayed.
