so in my right-click contextual menu there's a few actions like "CleanApp" and "Zap!" left over from applications i've since uninstalled in the Automator menu.

how can i remove this items from these menus?

Trash the workflows in ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder

try searching for "Zap!.workflow" and "CleanApp.workflow" with "Filename" selected in Finder's search and then trashing them from there.

are you using Leopard? if so youll have to add a "System files - include" parameter to Finder's search.

It means;
Command F, to get a search window up.
Click the + button at the right hand side.
The additional left hand drop down box that appears may well have Kind written in it, click it and change that to other..... A drop down window will appear. Scroll through it until you find System Files.
Check the check box and click OK.
Now try your search again.
