Alacritty remains in app menu after removal

System details

Omarch 3.2.0

What's wrong?

After moving to Ghostty, I uninstalled Alacritty using the "Remove > Package" function. However, the app still shows up on the list, just with a weird icon, even after rebooting:

This seems to have been reported multiple times before: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/issues/2115, https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/issues/850.

The suggestion mentioned in https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/issues/850 worked for me:

❯ find /usr/share/applications ~/.local/share/applications -name "*Alacritty*"
❯ rm /home/danielm/.local/share/applications/Alacritty.desktop

In that second ticket it is mentioned that this is not a Omarchy bug, but a problem with the app's uninstall process. Nevertheless, if default Omarchy apps can't be correctly uninstalled with the recommended removal mechanism, I believe this is something Omarchy should fix.
