I have a duplication of NetBeans for .desktop . I cannot find where these .desktop files are, I have searched for them using the GUI file explorer and cannot find them. And yes, I have looked in /usr/share/applications and i still cannot find them there. I have uninstalled NetBeans and reinstalled it, however the .desktop entry is still there? Is there anyway to remove 2 and keep the proper one?
gnome kali-linux .desktop

Check within $XDG_DATA_HOME, $XDG_DATA_DIRS
Per the XDG Spec § Environment Variables these will be set to ~/.local/share, /usr/local/share, and /usr/share if not specified. Within each those directories, you should see an applications folder.
tl;dr
Checking within
~/.local/share/applications/usr/local/share/applications
would likely show these up, I'd guess.
