Google Earth
In 'LinuxMint 13' I installed 'Google Earth'.
It didn't work properly. So I uninstalled it.
Now in menu > applications > internet > I still have 'Google Earth' listed.
I tried 'right-clicking' and selecting 'Delete from Menu'.
I tried right-clicking and adding x to the name (It now, shows up in the menu as 'Google Earthx'

I can't get rid of it.

Can some-one please tell me how to get rid of it?

If you click it, does it still run? How did you uninstall it?

If I left-click-menu then left-click-googleearth. Nothing happens. The menu disapears back into the task-bar.

I uninstalled it in software-manager.
Then in package-manager.
Then I searched the computer and deleted everything I found with the word google in it.

I just tried "Menu > Search: Google > Search Computer" and found a lot of google at "/usr/lib/cli".
A right-click on one gives me the option 'move-to-trash'.
If I select "move-to-trash'. It sais that "trash is unavailable and do I want to remove it permanently?"
If I select "delete". I get the message:-

Deleting "/usr/lib/cli/Google.GData.Photos-1.9/Google.GData.Photos.dll" failed: Error removing file: Permission denied.

That search found 169 files with the word 'google' in it (a mixture of files and folders containing files).

Any idea's what to do next [Other than re-installing 'LinuxMint 13 debian'', and starting again.

I have tried Marble but it seems to be missing a lot of Australia.

Once I get rid of google. I will try Earth3D.

From what I have seen online, the only files GoogleEarth creates are:

/home/$user/GoogleEarth
/home/$user/.google-earth

The first contains the program files and is removed when you uninstall the program. The second is the configuration/settings and is not automatically removed.

Given the above, I don't think it should have put files anywhere else on your computer. How did you install it? Do you have any other Google products such as Chrome or Picasa installed?

No I have nothing else from google installed.
I 1st, installed it through 'Software Manager'. It didn't work properly so I un-installed it through 'Software-Manager'
Then. Without thinking to look at what leaft on the system. I re-installed it through 'Package Manager'.
It still didn't work properly. So I un-installed it through 'Package Manager'.
Then I noticed it still in the 'Start menue', and started trying to remove it from the 'Start menu'.

Like I said before. When I do a Google search from the start menu.
This is the result :-
