 Hi there,

 running
 {{{
 .\osgeo4w-setup.exe --quiet-mode --root "X:\OSGEO4W_DEPLOY_TEST\INSTALL"
 --local-install --local-package-dir
 "X:\OSGEO4W_DEPLOY_LOCAL\PAQUETS\http%3a%2f%2fwww.norbit.de%2fosgeo4w%2f"
 --autoaccept  --no-shortcuts --delete-orphans --upgrade-also  -C Libs -C
 Commandline_Utilities -C Desktop
 }}}

 still creates a menu with the directory name  "OSGEO4W_DEPLOY_LOCAL"

 I also tested with --no-startmenu and --no-desktop, but the shortcut
 entries are still created

Comment:

 The shortcuts are created by the packages - each package has to respect
 the setting of OSGEO4W_DESKTOP_LINKS / OSGEO4W_MENU_LINKS and place the
 shortcut into and OSGEO4W_DESKTOP / OSGEO4W_STARTMENU.   Which don't?  I
 suppose GRASS or very old ones.  In testing that cruft is probably gone.
