Remove Duplicate Icons In Show Applications

I have just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and proceeded to install several programs. One of the programs, Gitkraken now has 2 icons when I opened SHOW APPLICATIONS while other installed programs are not showing at all. So my questions are:
1) How do I remove duplicate icons in Show Applications?
2) How do I add an icon in Show Applications?
FYI, I have checked /usr/share/applications and there is only one gitkraken.desktop. So I am not sure why I have 2 Gitktaken icons in Show Applications. Any insight on how to solve these 2 issues will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Per Pomsky's comment, I had four identical icons for the DbSchema program in my "show applications" panel. Going into $HOME/.local/share/applications I indeed have four copies: DbSchema-[0-3].desktop.
rm DbSchema-0.desktop DbSchema-1.desktop DbSchema-2.desktop
Solved my problem.
/usr/share/applications my have similar mechanisms.
