How to purge old Openshot files?

I want a fresh install of Openshot using its latest Linux(64-bit AppImage) file on a machine that had previously installed Openshot via apt, snap and flatpak. I have purged all its old installations. I have even purged flatpak. However, I still found Openshot files on this machine and its thumbnail appears in the Ubuntu 22.04 applications grid.

$ sudo apt list | grep openshotWARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface.

However, according to Nautilus, many residual files are in the /var/lib/flatpak/app directory.

Also, the Openshot thumbnail continues to exist in the Applications grid

but folders ~/.local/share/applications and /usr/share/applications do not contain any openshot .desktop files.

Question:

Can I simply delete the folder /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.openshot.OpenShot and not cause any problem to the machine? Since I have purged flatpak, can I even delete folder /var/lib/flatpak? Also, how do I remove the Openshot thumbnail in the Applications grid?
