I'm not sure exactly what you mean...but there are some files in ~/.config created by wine that edit the menu.  Poke around in 'autogen' or 'menus' iirc.

I tried your method, it nothing happen with the menu.
This is the menu 'other' what i mean

Chrome and safari has been uninstalled, but it still there.
I want edit 'other' menu.

If you delete the application menus if any under /home/.wine folder will remove this. I had this issue when I was using wine. also check this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-782784.html.

There's something like three or four places Wine deposits stuff in the home directory, and the menus exists outside of the .wine directory. I don't use Wine, so I can't remember where they are. I seem to remember that stuff gets deposited in .local, .config, and something like .menu. As I said I don't use the software, so as djnm suggested, just poke around.

Re: XFCE4 - How to Remove/Edit 'Other' Menu Created by Wine [SOLVED]

It worked! Thanks all..
This is the way to remove those wine menus, maybe other people need it

These menu are in these folders ~/.local/share/applications/wine and ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine-*

If you open a console/terminal and remove them, the wine shortcut in the menu and any other wine shortcuts will be removed from your profile.

# rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications/wine
# rm -rf ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine-*

If the menus still there, clean/remove this folder also  ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-*

# rm -rf ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-*
