By chance are you talking about the debian menus? I had a 'problem'
with LXDE when I first installed where the menu contained a bunch of
random programs that don't need their own menu entry or duplicates all
shoved into the other category. Purging menu and menu-xdg fixed the
'problem' for me.
I don't want to provoke anyone or start a flame war, but why does the
debian menu system still exist? It had it's place in the past, but all
modern DEs and panel/menu systems support the FD.o XDG application
standards. Maybe it's a little strong to say it should be dropped (I
can see uses in some special cases), but why is it enabled by default?
