getFlash stays in Desktop-Right Click context Menu

[Mjordan23]

I installed flash, decided to remove getFlash because I longer need it.

I tried removing it by using AppsAudit and manually removing them from tce/optional, but no matter what I do, getFlash still remains in the context menu. Can somebody tell me how to get rid of it?

Thank you.

I assume you are using FLWM, in this case the following might do the trick:
    rm -f ~/.wmx/Applications/getFlash10
I hope you have checked that 'getFlash10.tcz' is not any more in your 'onboot.lst' file, AFAIK this is what 'appsaudit' should do for you. I understand you have already removed all "getFlash10.tcz*" files from the '.../tce/optional' directory.

Did you actually reboot after all these changes, or are you using a persistent 'home'? Because that is in my view the only way that the context menu entry might remain even if the extension is not any more in 'onboot.lst' and in the 'optional' directory.

Thank you. It worked after executing the command you wrote and rebooting.

Since I use persistent home, should I include a line to delete .wmx on shutdown.sh?

You can. But this was addressed in v2.11.2. Best to stay current and upgrade to 2.11.3, otherwise our efforts for bug fixes are for naught.

Hmm, I am using 2.11.3. You sound like I don't need to modify shutdown.sh to delete .wmx on exit with v2.11.3.

[roberts]

Your right. It was System Tools that could double up on a persistent home and was corrected in 2.11.2
.wmx is listed in .xfiletool.lst but does not apply to persistent home as no backup is required.
Perhaps shutdown.sh should loop through .xfiletool.lst for those removals.

EDIT: I am testing having shutdown.sh loop through .xfiletool.lst to better support persistent home.
