Applications > Wine > Uninstall Wine Software, did you try that?

There is a hidden .wine directory (Press Ctrl + H) in your /home folder. All the software get installed to that, if you can't un-install that, you can manually remove however not recommended.

~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/ cotains Wine shortcuts. You can manually remove if they don't get removed after un-install.

Thanx for fast reply sikander,
i don't have .wine in the /home/username
however i think the older version for team viewer was not installed through wine as when it got installed there was no wine in applications menu,
it is simply installed in
applications>internet>teamviewer
Can you tell me how can i modify the links in the internet menu and where they lead to
or some command that can uninstall it

the newer version of teamviewer has an uninstall present in the wine menu in applications

Hi,
i found out the way
go system>administration> synaptic pacakage manger
search for teamviewer, select the one you want to uninstall and it uninstalls
but then the menu item still remains in order to remove the menu item from the
applications>internet
go to
prefrences>menu
here you can select the menu item that you want to delete

Hope somebody looking for the same thing will have a solution now

Did you download the Linux version of Teamviewer and installed that previously?

Go to Synaptic Package Manager under System > Administration and search for Teamviewer, it will appear if it is installed and you can remove it there.

Added: Glad you sorted it yourself. You can mark the thread Solved using Thread Tools near the top of this page.

Happy Ubuntu-ing!

for my sake if I run into this again (just updated to teamviewer8) I needed to edit the
/usr/share/applications/desktop.en_CA.utf8.cache
file to get rid of what appeared to be orphaned items in the menu. Alacarte (System-Preferences-Main Menu) wouldn't let me delete them, and if opened from a terminal, you could see an error indicating the associated desktop file didn't exist.

I'm sure if I had installed something else through synaptic the cache file would be rebuilt but in this case I only realized that after the fact.

using lucid 10.04.
