It's probably just stuck in the gnome menu and not really installed. Having a shortcut does not necessarily mean an application is installed. Also if you wanted to remove all the applications you installed in wine a 1 line command in the terminal does this. rm ~/.wine This however does not remove anything from the menu. The FAQ will instruct you how to clean the menu. John
