I beleive, Wine installed from source can be uninstalled by "make uninstall" command in the source directory.

If you have already removed the source folder, download and unpack it again and make sure to run "./configure" with the same options that you used when building and installing.

Also, if you installed the source-based wine to /usr (and not /usr/local), you may need to reinstall the debs after "make uninstall" (because some files shared by both will be removed as well).

Hope this helps :)

Hello abhinav:

Normally software will be upgraded automatically when you install a newer one..

Hmm to uninstall previous version of wine:

First make sure you still have the folder with the sources (where you did the make), if you have deleted them, redownload (if you deleted the source tarball) them and extract them, then do the ./configure and make again (only needed if you deleted your source code folder) and then do sudo make uninstall (this step is what tracks and uninstall the copy of wine you installed earlier).

Hope it helps
