KDE keeps remaking .scope services on every reboot

[ajgringo619]

I made the mistake of adding a .desktop file to ~/.config/autostart (for conky). Now, even after deleting the file, the system creates a new instance of conky (got 6 at the moment). I’ve tried disabling/deleting the .scope files, but since they’re transient services systemd just keeps remaking them. I can’t find any reference to conky in the System Settings app, nothing in Startup and Shutdown either.

Can someone please help?

Startups are configured in .config/ksmserverrc. See also System Settings > Startup and Shutdown.

Thank you so much! This was biting me on every KDE install I’ve done this year.
