If you have other programs installed, removing Windows Media Player is much more
complicated as it installs as a Windows Process.  Thank Microsoft for that
decision.

Removing ~/.wine will work as well for this. I think you meant that
uninstalling WMP but leaving other apps will be more complicated,
which is true. That's why you should always use separate prefixes for
each app ;-).
