Uninstall Wine Completely

Installing wine is very easy that it is all in your finger tips.

But the problem is removing it. It sometime very difficult to uninstall from your PC. And you will find out that the program is still in your computer even though you have already removed it. So, here is a very simple, but yet effective tool for you to remove “Wine”.

Please note that in the following commands there should be no spaces in the path, particularly between $HOME/ and .whatever.

  • 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/????_*.xpm
