[Hint] Remove Icons

Hi !
I sometimes have unnecessary icons in the app overview and have found a solution to hide these icons. I hope this helps someone :slight_smile:

You can find existing icons under

l / usr / share / applications /

copy the icon

cp /usr/share/applications/example.desktop ~ / .local / share / applications /

edit the file

vi ~ / .local / share / applications / example.desktop

and add in the file

NoDisplay = true

The icon disappears immediately.

Use this simple application to hide icons from desktop.
It uses the same method as described above.
