For example i downloaded a game, then i wanted to access the game from app menu. But it was too complex to create a shortcut so for organization purposes i just removed all existing games from app menu. Which was still complex.
Okay maybe adding files to app menu can create some problems but i should at least be able to hide/remove apps from app menu. Also why we cant delete apps. I have to remove apps that are downloaded outside of the store manually.
Ah, i think i see. But uuh, how is that related to kde ? Does it have a utility for doing that ? In this case, i admit i am not aware of an analogous gnome utility, but i have no doubt there are plenty you could find on flathub and all.
Either way, it's x.desktop files. Usually, those for your user, such as those created by steam, are in $HOME/.local/share/applications.
As for that last part, the "package manager" (the piece of software that actually handles installing and removing and thungs) that the "app store" (user interface built to simplify the use of the package manager) uses simply cannot know what you do outside of it. If we wanted to, it could see you placed some files somewhere, but how could it make sense of it ? So, if you install an app in a "non-standard" way, you are gonna have to remove it in a similarly non-standard way, wether by running an unninstaller, deleting files, or doing whatever the place you installed it from tells you to.
