Why does Application Launcher display a supposedly deleted `.desktop` file?

i would compare the contents of

~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/
/usr/share/kio/servicemenus/

you may find that they have been copied to your home folder and then hidden by the application launcher.

i noticed this when editing things in the menu editor without checking the show hidden box in config.

it puts them into lost and found or hidden categories instead of actually deleting them
