Describe the bug

Right click on the .desktop entry in the app launcher and click "Delete this AppImage."

Looking at the .desktop files, I run the command in the terminal and get the following:

/opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/remove "/home/mike/Applications/OrcaSlicer_Linux_AppImage_Ubuntu2404_V2.3.1-beta_1332ca41a3ea9b18e9b5b2c6b9906aeb.AppImage"
/opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/remove: error while loading shared libraries: libassuan.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Seeing the library error I tried adding the library path to the command:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/ /opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/remove "/home/mike/Applications/OrcaSlicer_Linux_AppImage_Ubuntu2404_V2.3.1-beta_1332ca41a3ea9b18e9b5b2c6b9906aeb.AppImage"
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.15) with this library (5.15.3)
Aborted (core dumped)

Expected behavior

I expect to see the entry get removed but it is still in the launcher.
