I searched open reports and couldn't find a duplicate
What happened?
It took me some time to find out how to uninstall shortcuts without having to manually remove them from C:\Users\my_login\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, on Windows
I created a json file with the turtle Minimal example and I successfully installed the shortcuts using $ python -c "from menuinst.api import install; install('./turtle.json')", as described in Usage
It is not completely intuitive to use remove and not uninstall, when you have installed with install
This can probably be added very easily to the documentation
It would also be useful to be able to remove a menu by just giving the menu name (instead of the json file that you may have lost), but I understand it would not be very safe, on probably would not remove the shortcuts on the desktop

It is also useful (for understanding a bit how menuinst works, and for debugging purpose) to display the paths of the generated/removed links
You could kill 2 birds with one stone by adding a Verbose Usage section with an example at the end of the Getting started page. Or something similar. Or put this in a FAQ
