[NTLUG:Discuss] Wine Install Uninstallable

[John Fields]

I use wine all the time, never had to uninstall it though. :)

But everything other than wine proper (which the rpm -e, or yum commands should remove for you) is stored in:

~/.wine/

Where "~" means your user's home directory. Mine looks like this:

$ ls -la .wine/
total 1508
drwxr-xr-x  4 john.fields users    4096 May 23 14:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 72 john.fields users    4096 May 22 15:50 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 john.fields users    4096 Mar 28 16:18 dosdevices
drwxr-xr-x  6 john.fields users    4096 May 31  2011 drive_c
-rw-r--r--  1 john.fields users 1473943 May 23 14:35 system.reg
-rw-r--r--  1 john.fields users      11 Nov 28 09:28 .update-timestamp
-rw-r--r--  1 john.fields users    2264 May 31  2011 userdef.reg
-rw-r--r--  1 john.fields users   43471 May 23 14:35 user.reg

Inside of drive_c is "\Program Files" and "\Windows" if that helps you orient.

Also, regarding bottles...
did you realize that wine has self-contained packages called "bottles"?

Be careful what you ask for. ;)
