Because regular uninstallers do not completely remove programs and leave files in /.wine and links in gnome panel, dekstop etc the FAQ gives the following instructions on removing all programs: Wine has its own built-in uninstaller - the equivalent of Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" function for running standardized uninstallers. In recent versions, a shortcut has been added to Wine's menu, along with a shortcut to winecfg.> Note that Wine does not fully implement everything required to cleanly uninstall all applications. Some uninstallers might not function at all. To remove all programs installed under Wine, remove the ~/.wine directory: > > rm -rf $HOME/.wine > > Also the uninstaller does not remove menu and desktop entries. To remove all Wine-created menu entries run the following commands > > rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine* > rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine > rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine* > rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpmWhat if one wants to remove just a single program and keep the rest intact?[/i]
