I fixed it:
- open terminal and
cd ~/.local/share/applications.
ls -aand there were fewwine-***files and a folderwine.
- now you can do a selective remove or; in my case; delete all those files using
rm -rf wine*
Problem solved!

You don't have to delete everything as you may lose other useful icons too. Inside ~/.local/share/applications/wine/programs there are folders regarding each one of your wine apps. Delete the unwanted ones and keep the rest.
