how was the application stopped & how did you remove the entry, by using GUI or CLI ? I am no expert but if you used GUI to delete the app, afaik Linux is unlike the Windows OS where GUI is used to 'uninstall' most applications. Here it is an instance and you *may* have deleted the desktop application for that particular user only. If CLI, what command did you use ? Please give more details. _svaksh_
If its not a big hassle, the user's data can be backed up in a seperate folder and the user removed by root. Then create the same user again and restore the data. Do the chmod -r 777 for the backedup files accordingly or else the root's modified files may not be accessible by the newly created user.
