Here's what I did.  First I pressed ctrl+esc.  This brought up the 
system activity window.  There I right clicked on the offending process 
and selected detailed memory information.  That gave me the process 
number and the name of the program.  Then I entered ps -fu username | 
grep program. (Be sure to replace username with your username and 
program with the name of the program.)   This gave me the path to the 
offending program.  Then I killed the process and renamed the program.  
To kill the process try kill -9 process number, example kill -9 1234
