Unable to delete shortcut

Hello! I installed "The Sims 2" on my computer but uninstalled it the next
day as I have Windows Vista and it wasn't really compatible, but the desktop
shortcut is still there. I have tried right-clicking to delete it but a
message appears saying that it cannot find the file (obviously because I have
uninstalled the program) and asks me to verify the location before I can
delete it.

I did uninstall the program correctly through the option in "Control Panel"
and I did not see any option to uninstall it manually so I'm really stuck!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Right click the desktop and hit 'refresh'.
