Delete shortcut and its associated file using Innosetup

Question

As part of updating the application, I want to delete the old start menu entry, if one exists, and the file it points to. I tried:

[InstallDelete]
Type: files; Name: "{group}\User Manual (PDF)"
Type: files; Name: "{app}\User Manual.pdf"

The actual file itself was deleted, but was not entered at the beginning. In addition, no operation was recorded in the installation log.

Any ideas?

Shortcuts have an extension, try:

Type: files; Name: "{group}\User Manual (PDF).lnk"
