When I open up the Show Applications menu to see all my installed software, I see a lot of dead links, mostly for programs I have previously installed through Wine, which I no longer use. However, I can't delete them.
Is there some place I can manually edit or delete these from?

Application launchers (files with .desktop suffix) for apps installed using Wine should be found in your ~/.local/share/applications/ directory.
However snap applications may also exhibit the same issue, viz. ghost icons in application overview after uninstalling the application. In that case the launchers would be found in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/ directory.

@hiigaran They should be in/usr/share/applications/. But it is not advisable to edit/delete those files directly. Instead copy a.desktopfile from/usr/share/applications/to~/.local/share/applications/and edit the copied file to locally override the launcher. To make a launcher visible/invisible you can use aNoDisplay=false/trueline in the.desktopfile.
