How to remove leftover unity-webapps-facebookmessenger icons?

Question

I have uninstalled unity-webapps-facebookmessenger but I have left over launcher icons in the dash and message menu. I have removed the facebook.com entry from allowed webapps domains in dconf-editor.

How can I get rid of this annoying facebook icon in my message menu?

Have you right clicked on it and selected "Unlock from Launcher"? — Seth, Jan 15 '13 at 00:19
Hi, its not on the launcher, its in the dash, but the annoying part is the message menu — Jeff, Jan 15 '13 at 00:19
I see what you are saying, I removed the desktop file from .local/share/applications and it worked thanks! — Jeff, Jan 15 '13 at 00:26

Apparently when you uninstall the webapp package from Software Center it doesn't delete the icons. So you just need to go to "~/.local/share/applications" and delete the file for facebook "facebookfacebookcom.desktop" or any other webapp.
