How can you hide unwanted apps from the gnome app menu?
I've installed alacarte/main menu, unticked the apps but they still appear.
I've also checked in /usr/share/applications and viewed one the apps I don't want to appear and it says NoDisplay=true but still it shows.

According to the FreeDesktop documentation (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.1.html) the correct option is NoDisplay=true for what you want to achieve.
Try to create a copy of an existing file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications (with a different name so that you can easily identify it) and set both options to see the behaviour.
