[Solved] Want to delete Opera 10 icon from menu

I am currently using xfce4 and had installed Opera 10 beta a while back. I deleted it but I can not remove the Opera icon from the main application/network menu.

Any idea to remove this icon?

Thank you.

I don't use xfce4 so I'm not sure if it will work the same, but presumably so.. check ~/.local/share/applications for a corresponding *.desktop file and remove it.

If Opera or some other application decides to recreate it, there's another way that may work better. Edit the opera.desktop file in any text editor and set the line 'NoDisplay' to 'true'. If it doesn't exist, just add 'NoDisplay=true' on any new line in the file.
