Eclipse appears in application drawer without icon after removal

Question

After I did:

sudo apt-get autoremove eclipse
sudo apt-get purge eclipse

and deleted some folders like .eclipse and ./eclipse-installer in /home/user/ but there is a blank space with the Eclipse apps name

How can I fix that? I'm using Ubuntu 20.04LTS

Output of grep -R "Eclipse" /usr/share/applications ~/.local/share/applications:

/home/user/.local/share/applications/epp.package.java.desktop:Name=Eclipse IDE for Java Developers - 2021-03

Are you sure you installed Eclipse using APT, not with some tar downloaded from Eclipse's site? Please [edit] your question and paste the output of grep -R "Eclipse" /usr/share/applications ~/.local/share/applications. — Kulfy, Mar 21 '21 at 07:50
There you go. Run rm ~/.local/share/applications/epp.package*. If entries in application drawer still appear, press Alt+F2, type r and press Enter. — Kulfy, Mar 21 '21 at 08:07
Does this answer your question? How to remove icons/shortcuts from Unity menu? Though you're not using Unity, some things are still same. — Kulfy, Mar 21 '21 at 08:15
