I have added a view and later removed it. But after that I am seeing one of the web address that i have provided is appearing in the left navigation bar. I am not sure how to remove this. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks Dereine!

I am a bit new to drupal. How do we rebuild the menu cache?

mh i think the best way is to install the Devel Module.

there you can add a block and rebuild the cache.

or install the admin_menu and hover above the left icon and hover about flush all caches and then click "rebuild menu"

I installed the devel module and cleared the cache and rebuilt the menus. It worked. Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure what to tell you on this one. The menu system has been known to leave items hanging around even after they are no longer declared by a module. if you've removed the View then Views is no longer telling the Drupal menu system that it exists. If it's still there, that means there is an entry in the database, specificly in either the menu_links or menu_router table. You may need to go into this table and remove it.

FYI while people have reported this happening, I've never been able to get it to happen myself, so I don't understand what causes it or really know how to deal with it. It is, however, probably a Drupal core bug.

This is what I did.
I have created a view and configured the display so that the menu is enabled. saved the settings. Once the menu item is seen, i deleted the view. After that the menu item stuck there.
Thanks to dereine i have installed the devel module and cleaned the urls to solve the issue.
May be this information should be updated inthe documentation for views and menu modules....
