MATE remove entry off the main menu (Mate-Desktop)

I am using Mate-Desktop and installed for example media downloader, but now I would like to take it off, de-installation worked, but how to remove the entry from the main drop down menu? Thanks in advance.

IIRC, you should delete the corresponding *.desktop file located in the /usr/local/share/applications directory.
 
As Mate desktop follows the specification of Freedesktop.org, I think, the best way is to copy .desktop corresponding to your application into ~/.local/share/applications/. Then add this line:

Code:
[...]
NoDisplay=true
