Your output seems to show that you installed signal-desktop from a flatpak. Try using flatpak tools to remove it.

here's all the clarity in the world, a screenshot. that shows that in my applications there is the infamous signal desktop. IT IS THERE. no sweat. the fact that which and whereis commands don't appear to give a path to the app doesn't preclude the fact that IT IS THERE.

Your output of which and whereis suggests that you have no application called signal-desktop installed on any of your $PATH directories anywhere on your system. Maybe it's using a different name. Maybe it's in a different directory. Or maybe it's not there at all. Lots of possibilities.
