Add/Remove program installed with Wine?


Q. How do I uninstall Windows applications?
A. You can run Wine's uninstaller command; this is like Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" function. It should remove menu and desktop entries... but it's not well tested; it might not work with all apps. See below for a reliable way to remove *all* Windows apps.

Q. How do I uninstall *all* Windows applications?
A. To remove all programs installed under Wine, remove the wineprefix (usually the ~/.wine directory) by pasting the following command into a terminal:
rm -rf $HOME/.wine
But that doesn't remove them from the system menu; to clean out the menus, carefully paste the following commands into a terminal:
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,png}
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/*-x-wine-*.{xpm,png}

Q. How do I uninstall Wine?
A. If you installed Wine with your distribution's package manager, use the package manager again to uninstall Wine. (If you installed Wine from source, then use make uninstall in the source directory to remove it.)
This won't uninstall your Windows apps, though; see above for that.
Thing you for shairing it.
