I see an icon for, say, inkscape, in the "Applications" menu. I apt-get remove inkscape. I re-open the Applications page, and I still see the inkscape icon, which is still clickable. I can click it, and the Applications menu goes away, making me think that it's trying to launch something, but of course, the app doesn't launch (since it's been removed).
