Or simply a: $ rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine* $ rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine Should get rid of them. Or if you've got some you want to keep, find that shortcut and remove it only. You're reinstalling the same apps repeatedly, so you should know where the shortcuts are. -- -Austin
