  3. You accidentally dragged one into another

  4. You renamed them

  6. You want to reinstall missing packages



type in the followings in your terminal:



Remove and purge Kali-Menu



apt-get remove --purge kali-menu && apt-get clean


Remove local applications in your profile



rm -rf .local/share/applications


Remove Kali Menus from .config



rm -rf .config/menus


Reboot your machine



reboot


Reinstall Kali-Menu
