Duplicated .desktop shortcut in Gnome Launcher in Ubuntu 18.04
All my custom .desktop in ~/.local/share/applications/ are all duplicated in Gnome Launcher (the Show Applications button). I think my case was similar like this one but happen in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, no solutions of it works by the way.
Here is what I have tried to fix the problem:
- Remove the duplicated
.desktopand make a new one -> Fail. - Move the duplicated
.desktopto somewhere else and move back -> When I move it to upper dir, the shortcut in Gnome Launcer disappear. But when I move it back, the duplicated shortcut also return. - Remove catalogs -> Nothing change.
Here is the screenshot of my problem:
Here is my content of 2 .desktop files that be duplicated.

The problem just happens recently. And I can assure to you that two files about only exist in the ~/.local/share/applications/ dir.
I hope you guy could give me some advise to get rid of those duplicated things.
