Remove an entry from Gnome-Do memory

Asked by Kayvee

I use a Tcl/Tk script that is usually run from the terminal by giving a command "wish <programname>". I created a menu entry for that so that I can quickly start the program without first going to the Terminal. Now, somebody made a .deb installer for that program and I installed it on my computer. I deleted the menu entry for the old copy of the program and removed all specks of the old program from my computer. However, when I use Gnome-Do to start that program, it remembers my older entry and shows up first. Is there a way to get rid of that older entry Gnome-Do remembers?

It's probably still in ~/.local/share/applications or similar. We just read
the files given to us, we don't really keep a store anywhere.

Where else does Gnome Do look for commands?

In particular, I've installed a lot of programs using Wine to test them out, which I have subsequently uninstalled. They no longer show up on Wine's uninstaller, and (as far as I can tell) none of their files remain, but they somehow still manage to show up on Gnome Do. This wastes a lot of keystrokes when Gnome Do keeps suggesting programs which no longer exist.

How do I remove them? Thanks.

@D. L. Yonge-Mallo

To remove obsolete wine menu entries programms, have a look at ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programmes
