Hello I'm new to wine and I have a simple question. When uninstalling previously installed windows program, does wine remove all the files? I mean if I don't fill my system with garbage installing win programs. Thanks Martin

To remove all apps, run: $ rm -rf ~/.wine If you're going to be installing/uninstalling programs a lot, you might be better off putting each app in its own prefix, see the FAQ for details.

If your windows program's uninstaller doesn't remove everything under Windows, it's not going to under Wine, either. - -- Paul Johnson baloo at ursine.ca -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFH8W99UCxPKZafKh0RAiMeAKDDe+Rgv7wbi/LP7t7Zzt0ZHG5AoQCgwDC+ H6bBYw3tJTS4wlr7UGrltOQ=BGTJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
