*foxit* there, and I removed "display-im6.q16.desktop" also, which

made no difference.

All this sits on top of XDG, so it should be a ".desktop" file

somewhere.

Official locations are:

/usr/share/applications/

/usr/local/share/applications/

~/.local/share/applications/

Well, this is quite a mystery, because there's no trace of foxit in any of

those folders. 

just asking, are you grep'ing case insensitve for Foxit/foxit

$ rg -i foxit .local/share/applications/

.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

13:application/pdf=FoxitReader.desktop

14:application/ppdf=FoxitReader.desktop

15:application/octet-stream=FoxitReader.desktop

.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

3:application/octet-stream=FoxitReader.desktop;

5:application/pdf=FoxitReader.desktop;wine-extension-pdf.desktop;

.local/share/applications/FoxitReader.desktop

2:Name=Foxit Reader

10:Icon=FoxitReader

11:Exec=/home/rthompso/opt/foxitsoftware/foxitreader/FoxitReader.sh %F

Here are some more "hits" found by grep:

.local/share/mime/application/pdf.xml:  <comment>FoxitReader Document</comment>

.local/share/mime/application/ppdf.xml:  <comment>FoxitReader Document</comment>

.local/share/mime/packages/FoxitReader.xml:    <comment>FoxitReader Document</comment>

.local/share/mime/packages/FoxitReader.xml:    <comment>FoxitReader Document</comment>

These files are created by update-mime-database, but where does it get its

information?
