To be able to access my online Google Drive folder from Ubuntu, I installed two GNOME packages:
sudo apt install gnome-control-center gnome-online-accounts
Now if I open the Dash and write "settings", I see two different icons: "Settings" and "System Settings". It is not possible to open both of them at the same time, so I assume that "Settings" was meant to replace "System Settings" (after installing the two GNOME packages).
Is there any way to delete "System Settings", so that only "Settings" remain?

You can tweak these via the
.desktop
files (mostly) in the/usr/share/applications/
folder and you need Root/Admin priviledges for this purpose.For instance, if you're sure, they are duplicate and this is the one you don't want, you can open the file
unity-control-center.desktop
there, and -as a safer method- merely add the lineHidden=true
and/orNoDisplay=true
instead of deleting it.
