Removing Data from xfce Panel Plugin? SOLVED

Working with xfce4-docklike-plugin, I renamed a launcher and it no long works or allows re-editing.

I've tried purging xfce4-docklike-plugin through terminal, but upon re-installation of plugin, it still uses the faulty launcher. I'm also confused as to whether xfce4-docklike-plugin uses its own launchers, or xfce's.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Jake

I found the issue: xfce4-docklike-plugin puts all wine programs under a single listing of "winebrowser"

When I changed that to "MS Word," problems ensued and the launcher could not be edited. I tracked the problem to wine-extension-rels.desktop, renamed MS Word to winebrowser and all is well.

I don't understand all the background but it had nothing to do with xfce4-docklike-plugin
