2025, and this is still an issue with no attention it seems...
I thought I'd use krunner to open a chrome app instead of going through the
menu and I noticed there were 3 instances.
I went into the menu editor and found they (along with 4 other apps) were in
`.hidden`.
I deleted them, saved, used krunner again, but all 3 were still there. Odd.
I go back into the menu editor and they were all still there.

I manually edited `~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu`
(https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1drreln/how_do_i_remove_these_from_my_applications_menu/n3fsvte/)
and deleted them from there.
While they no longer show in menu editor, krunner and menu search still show
them (but they'll fail to do anything (other than the 1 that I left alone), as
expected). I figure there's some sync that would happen during account loading
that'll rectify that part if I log out/in. But saving without changing anything
in menu editor after having manually deleted those entries in the file doesn't
do that "syncing".
