Wine program

Asked by Brett Bojanoski

I have a Wine program installed that added icons to the application grid under Ubuntu 20.04.1 the program did not work right I was unable to uninstall from the Wine Add/Remove programs so I had to manually delete the program files so I can now not get rid of this wine program from the application grid. I deleted the Wine program and removed and reinstalled Wine support and even ran a system restore I still can not get rid of these icons, Please Advise?

Do you mean remove wine itself or the icons it creates in the launcher?

I can remove Wine but the icons in the launcher remain no matter what

this is the offending program the rest of the output would have been too large

OK. Delete those files.

If you run:

nautilus /home/cmdr/.local/share/applications/wine

You will open the file manager at the location and you can remove the files as you desire
