Remove Wine application entries in the Ubuntu menu
If you uninstall an application through Wine, sometimes the menu entry will still be visible in the Wine menu.

To remove this menu item permanently you need to navigate to the following folder in Ubuntu.

.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/

The .local folder can be found in your home directory.

This is a hidden file so select View and click Show Hidden Files from the menu at the top.

Navigate to the the Programs folder.

In the Programs folder you will see the menu entries created by Wine.

Just delete the menu entry you do not wish to be visible anymore, and hey presto this will be removed from the main Wine menu in Ubuntu.
