If you know where the shortcut location is, and the folder structure is present in the Directory table you can use the RemoveFile Table.Give the .lnk name of the shortcut.
If the folder structure is not present in the Directory table, then you will have to use an external custom action to remove the shortcuts.

Just to add to earlier msg, in the RemoveFile table set InstallMode to 1 so that the old shortcuts are removed on install of the msi.
