How to remove icons/shortcuts from Unity menu?

I have installed Chromium and Tweet Deck on it (trough Chrome Store), now I uninstalled Tweet Deck and after that Chromium, the problem is, when I installed Tweet Deck it asked me if I want to create a shortcut to it and I chose YES. Now that both are uninstalled the Tweet Deck icon still appears on Unity Menu over Internet.
I tried to remove the icon from the menu but I can't figure out how to do this. It should be a simple thing to do, but is giving me headaches :P
What I have to do to remove the shortcut and possible junk files from Chromium?
Also my Ubuntu version is 11.10 x64.

It seems that you can't remove apps from the Dash, however you can manage your launchers (*.desktop files) in one of the following directories:
/usr/share/applications
/usr/local/share/applications
~/.local/share/applications
If your launcher file is in any of the first two directories, you will require root permissions to remove it.

It was in ~/.local/share/applications. I successful removed it. Many tanks :D

It took me a bit, but I finally found more desktop files in /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ on Ubuntu 11.10 which is where the extra version of jEdit was showing up for me that was launching an old version that was duplicated in the unity menu.

Also if you delete a program installed with Wine you will have to look inside more than one folder inside the~/.local/share/
diretory.

I use an application called alacarte (atalacarte is a program that for editing freedesktop.org complient menus). It allows you to remove the unwanted launchers from the menu or create/add new ones. I had to install this app myself (apt-get) in Ubuntu 12.04. IMO this app should be part of a default Ubuntu installation.
alacarte rocks! Agree it should be part of a default Ubuntu installation... or be able to right click on icons in the launcher to edit/configure/remove them.

I had the same trouble with deleting Firefox icon from Unity launcher. I installed two exemplars of Firefox: one with apt-get and one with dpkg from *.deb, so after removing both copies of Firefox, icon is still showed in Unity launcher.
Here is recipe that helped me:
Looking a package in dpkg
dpkg --list | grep firefox
result
ii firefox-mozilla-build:i386 35.0.1-0ubuntu1 Mozilla Firefox, official Mozilla build, packaged for Ubuntu by the Ubuntuzilla project.
found! well, when we know the name of the package, we can remove its remnants
sudo dpkg -r firefox-mozilla-build:i386
That's all, excess icon vanished from the launcher.
I installed Wine and then installed Photoscape.exe through Wine. Then after facing some problem in Photoscape I just uninstalled it using Wine uninstaller. But unfortunately the icons was present. Then I executed "dpkg --list | grep photoscape" and all icons related to Photoscape cleared.

Just now I had a similar problem with one app. The problem with the accepted answer is that desktop files can be stored in many other locations, not only those listed, like this one ~/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments/
, for example.
So I can suggest to use the find
utility in such a case. One needs to figure out what string is guaranteed to be a part of the name of a desktop file for the app in question and that string should be quite long in order to avoid too much output.
For instance ("iname" stands for case insensitive name, * is a wildcard, it means any character(s) in place of it):
sudo find / -iname '*tweet*'
Also one should try if necessary to search for some particular string in all desktop files on the system, like this:
sudo find / -name '*.desktop' -exec grep -i '*tweet*' {} +
Then remove all those found files and log off.
This should have helped the OP to remove those icons from the menu.

Expanding on Severo Raz's answer :
/usr/share/applications
/usr/local/share/applications
~/.local/share/applications
you can easily get it done using terminal, by :
cd <directory>
ls | grep <application_name("tweet")>
Which will give you an output like this :
application_name.desktop
And then :
rm application_name.desktop
Actually, you should be able to combine step 3+4 :
ls | grep <appname> | xargs rm -f
Be warned : You may delete desktop icons which you not intended to remove due to naming similarities etc. ! No warranty.

Right click the app's icon.
On the next screen that appears, select the "Uninstall" button.
The app should now be uninstalled.

Rebooted....but never resolved my issue.
So installed this MENU editor:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caldas-lopes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ezame
and delete unwanted icons.

I had the same issue.
First I uninstalled the application, then I deleted all references from the following folder:
/usr/share/applications
/usr/local/share/applications
~/.local/share/applications

Expanding on Severo Raz's answer :
/usr/share/applications
/usr/local/share/applications
~/.local/share/applications
you can easily get it done using terminal, by :
cd <directory>
ls | grep <application_name("tweet")>
Which will give you an output like this :
application_name.desktop
And then :
rm application_name.desktop
Actually, you should be able to combine step 3+4 :
ls | grep <appname> | xargs rm -f
Be warned : You may delete desktop icons which you not intended to remove due to naming similarities etc. ! No warranty.
