The"update-menu" operation alone, is it sufficient?
I expected would need to remove these (at least)(this list might not be comprehensive):

sudo rm /usr/share/xsessions/icewm-session.desktop
sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/desktop-menu/.icewm
sudo rm /usr/share/desktop-menu/templates/icewm.template
sudo rm /usr/share/desktop-session/wm-menus/icewm-wm-menu


edited, to add this bit:
Also, an additional package is involved, so:
sudo apt purge menu-icewm-antix


After removing these, run"Update Menu" command in the desktop menu. Is the"alternative desktops}}icewm" now absent?


Separately, you'll probably want to edit controlCentre and remove the references to icewm:

sudo geany /usr/local/bin/antixcc.sh

Also, in case the"apt purge icewm" didn't perform a full cleanup (e.g. because subdirs containing"extra" themes were still present):

sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/icewm
sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/doc/icewm-common
rm -Rf ~/.icewm
sudo rm -Rf /etc/skel/.icewm

Probably need to remove these manually (because"apt purge icewm" doesn't know about these):

sudo rm /usr/bin/icewm-session
sudo rm /usr/bin/icewmbg
sudo rm /usr/bin/icewmhint
sudo rm /usr/bin/icewmtray
sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/bin/icewmcc
sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/share/live-files/etc/skel/.icewm
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/antix/change-icemenu-theme.desktop
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/antix/IceWMcc.desktop
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/antix/icewm-menu.desktop edit: the"sudo apt purge menu-icewm-antix" operation should nix these last 3

After performing the above cleanup steps, check for any additional icewm files:

sudo updatedb
sudo locate icewm
