Eclipse appears in application drawer without icon after removal

By Emma Johnson

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

Show Application screen

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

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