i posted a problem similar to this a few months ago but it wasn't able to be answered but now this problem is getting very annoying. when i delete software that i was running in wine for some reason the shortcuts remain. i've tried going to to .config ---> application mergered and delete the files but it doesn't work. i've also tried going to main menu and deleting the shortcut but that also doesn't work when i press delete nothing happens. does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?

Have a look at the following locations which all have items put in them by WINE:-

/home/yourname/.config/menus/applications-merged
/home/yourname/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs
/home/yourname/.local/share/desktop-directories
/home/yourname/.local/share/icons

aha,i just delete the file under the path "/home/zpx/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs" and then OK

my history:

423 cd .config/
424 ls
425 cd menus/
426 ls
427 cd applications-merged/
428 ls
429 grep "wine" -l *
430 vim applications.menu
and the icon is still in my menu:

436 cd ../.local/share/applications/
437 ls
438 rm wine-Programs-*

and the icon is still:

457 cd .local/share/
458 ls
459 cd applications/
460 ls
461 cd wine/
462 ls
463 cd Programs/
464 ls
and then
468 rm AutoHotkey/ -rf
469 rm CMake\ 2.6/ -r

it's ok

is my english poor enough?:)
