wine users - Jul 2011 - Re: Uninstall Windows Apps?

I'm not talking about menu items. I know that menus are not stored in wine
related folders.

The problem, as I've mentioned above is that when try to install visual
studio 2005 it finds some prerequisites already installed (like .net 2.0 or
windows installer 3.1) and stop the install with the message that another
(trial) version of this product (VisualC2005) is already installed and must
remove it first.

My big problem is that it keeps finding the previous install even after I've
removed all folders and purged wine and installed new version.
This message (that finds previous install) doesn't occur on new kubuntu+wine
installation, it occurs only after I've tried winetricks.

So my question is where this information is stored and what I need to do to
COMPLETELY  remove wine and reinstall a new fresh version (other solution than
obvious one to reinstall kubuntu)..

Are you installing and deleting under a normal user and not using the
root user or su or sudo ?
