please remind me how to remove orphaned Domain: menu items, the AppVM
is gone, but I still see it listed in the Application 'Q' menu in 3.2

but not in qvm-ls ; I don't want to remove the wrong config file
somewhere , I can't seem to find it in the old group postings,
though I know it's there

Look in the R3.2 section:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-appvm-shortcuts/

ok, I did remove the dir /var/lib/qubes/appvms/<vmthatstill appears in Q
Menu,but not in VM manager> , however have not as yet rebooted to see,
but as of now it still persists

if I do qvm-sync-appmenus <fooVM> it just tells me that fooVM doesn't
exist


this isn't how I recall sync'ing menus before ..hmm

hmm the issue seems to be that I have now upgraded debian-8 TemplateVM
to debian-9

and the AppVM that won't go-away is based on the debian-8 TemplateVM
based on what I see in the menu-items in the "Q" menu..

So:::

something like: qvm-sync -appmenus debian-8 isn't going to work as
the Template is gone ...

Further: after the debian-9 upgrade I did do :

[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo yum remove qubes-template-debian-8

However, it ALSO is still in the "Q" menu on the taskbar & the
Right-Click menus Domain lists


any other ideas, besides this post and the previous one where I deleted
:

/var/lib/qubes/appvms/<badAppVM> to no effect .....

Have you looked at:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/remove-vm-manually/

[yre...@riseup.net]

add to my list 'learn how to search qubes docs' really

steps 1 and 2 already did but not 3 -4
