Issues with old menu entries and old custom menus [Xfce]

Hello, this is the issue:
The main menu keep showing old entries for programs I already deleted: For example, I have an entry for the indie game FEZ even tough I already deleted this game. I know that programs have a .desktop file located in "~/.local/share/applications" and/or in "/usr/share/applications", but I already deleted both files and this is not happening just with the FEZ entry but with other old menu entries including custom entries. I don't know why the keep showing up even tough I removed both .desktop files for each one of those entries. I think that there is another file that I'm missing or some kind of menu cache that I have to update but I don't which nor how. Additionally I have to say that I'm using the whisker menu plugin but the entries also show up on the stock xfce4 menu.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Shadow_Reaper13

I forgot to say that those annoying entries does not appear neither on menulibre nor in alacarte so I cannot delete them using one or another. Those entries does not appear on those menu editors even before I delete the .desktop files.
