[SOLVED] Clean out kde menu

How can I clean out the kde menu, and make it generate it from scratch ? Ive been messing around in it too much, and I want a totally new clean one.

Tnx, VeXocide

look at ~/.kde/share/applnk

~/.kde/share/applnk is completely empty, so not much there

Klick on the K-Menu with the right mouse button and choose Menu-Editor. Here we are,
change comments, add/move/delete entries, ...
If you want to regenerate the Menu goto K-Menu->System->AppFinder IIRC. I'm not at my
lovely gentoo machine right now, but I will look it up if I'm at home...

Hope this helps...

Under the KDE menu go to Settings, from their you can select either the Menu Editor or the Menu Updating Tool (AppFinder) as Seipnir called it (that's the name that appears in the application window's title bar).

The Menu Editor lets you manually add/remove entries.

The Menu Updating Tool (aka AppFinder) "finds all non-KDE applications" and then lets you select which ones you want to add to the KDE menu.

You can also try temporarily moving the /home/username/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu file somewhere else. You might have to logout of KDE and log back in to see any effect. If this doesn't have the effect you want, move the whole contents of the menus folder, and add things back...just experiment.

Thnx, kastorff, renaming ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu did the trick I was looking for
