How do I remove invalid (orphaned) shortcuts from Ubuntu 14.04? I have Wine, PlayOnLinux and ClassicMenu Indicator installed. I installed, then removed Microsoft Office 2007 because it was "buggy". However, their shortcuts remain in the "Other" subfolder of ClassicMenu Indicator. Suggesions, please.

Try this answer:
It seems that you can't remove apps from the Dash, however you can manage your launchers (*.desktop files) in one of the following directories:
- /usr/share/applications
- /usr/local/share/applications
- ~/.local/share/applications
If your launcher file is in any of the first two directories, you will require root permissions to remove it.
