Solved Clearing old items in KDE desktop

[CaffeineAddict]

I had a ton of games installed in Lutris, deleted most of them except 2 but now the problem is that old games which no longer exist are still showing up in start menu -> wine:

But currently there are only two installed:

How to delete those remnants from start menu?

I'd prefer a standard method rather than some hackery if possible.

edit:

btw. I have tried sweeper program a while ago, but that program is just bad, is screwed up my system and since then didn't reinstall it.

I have zero experience with wine....so this is a shot in the dark

Uninstall a program installed with Wine

I am using Ubuntu 11.10. By using wine software i installed some software like nimbuzz and ibibo messenger. Both the programs are not working and showing the bug as We're sorry, but an unknown erro...

askubuntu.com

in particular, this answer...

Type in a terminal or press Alt+F2 and type wine uninstaller will give you access to the built in Add/Remove tool from wine. From there you can uninstall a program you have installed in a bottle.

To completely remove the bottle for your user (and thus remove everything from a wine bottle and start again) you can open a terminal and type rm -rf ~/.wine or as an alternative open Nautilus and in your home folder press Ctrl+H, locate the .wine folder and delete it. wine will create a new folder next time you try to use it.

Thank you @Condobloke
This is useful to remove the bottle for my user account which I didn't know, and also I didn't know I should run uninstaller to uninstall specific game prior to removing it from Lutris which deletes installation but not remnants.

Btw. I also found this:

Wine development tree

The procedure is a bit outdated but I managed to pin down directories to remove remnants, which are as follows:

• ~/.local/share/applications/wine-protocol*.desktop
• ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/
• ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/

TODO: One of the below two will also clear Wine subfolder from application menu

• ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/
• ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-*.menu

• ~/.local/share/mime/application/x-wine-extension*
• ~/.local/share/mime/packages/x-wine-extension*
• ~/.local/share/applications/wine-extension*.desktop
