Can't delete an shortcut from an uninstalled program

Hi, I am trying to delete a shortcut to an uninstalled program. vista
will not let me delete it saying "This is no longer located in C:\Users
\Publice\Public Destop" Verify this items loation and try again.

Well, I agree, but I just want to get rid of the shourtcut. Any
suggestions?
thanks
