Its not easy to say from the information you provided. You could try searching with the Nautilus file manager by Ctrl + f

well, you install it first via apt
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
then you run it

My concern is that installing gnome-panel into the Deepin system . While the roots of Deepin come from Gnome, the project has evolved into its own especially with this years version with a Gala based windows manager, HTML5, and QT. So not all of the old Gnome things are compatible with the Deepin OS. I would much rather see a manual method of creating shortcuts.
That being said I tried your method and it does seem to work. I tested with a manual Firefox install. And following your method my .desktop file was in ~/.local/share/applications and I was able to delete it as well. Remeber that the tilde symbol followed by the slash symbol  ~/  refers to the users home in directory in Linux.
