This is installed from wine applications, and yes unfortunately they can create a mess (like making the wine "notepad" the default text editor).
You need to delete those mime applications that wine creates under your home folder. Try something like: rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine or search and delete the file that you told me (wine-extension-pdf). The previous gnome instructions I told you should have worked though.
