Hopefully I understood this correctly. You want to completely remove wine and then reinstall it, giving you a fresh/clean profile to work with.

To remove wine completely. You should issue "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine". This will remove anything wine created in your home directory (configuration files and history) as well as the packages.

And then obviously to reinstall it you can issue a "sudo apt-get install wine".

Steve

To remove your fake wine drive(s) delete ~/.wine. When you run winecfg it will create a fresh one for you.

Wine adds shortcuts in ~/.local/share/applications/wine/, start menu folders in ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/, and icons in ~/.local/share/icons/. Deleting these files will remove them from the Applications menu. Wine adds some default entries to the Applications menu such as 'Configure Wine' when it is installed.
