Some programs running under Wine cannot be removed with the uninstaller and/or don't even show up on the uninstall list! How do I uninstall these applications?

Please help me out! Thanks! :)

Run:

uninstaller

Is there a simple way to do it? I tried running the Add and Remove Programs feature in Wine already....

If it isn't a problem to delete all of your installed programs UNDER wine, you can reset your wine configuration. After that you must reinstall your programs (may be office, photoshop, internet explorer...etc) with wine. If you want to try this, write the following command in terminal,

rm -rf ~/.wine

or

rm -rf /home/YOU_USERNAME/.wine

Hope this helps...

its not in there, run uninstaller in a terminal. add/remove is for Ubuntu apps only, not the stuff you install i wine

If you delete the .wine folder as Emre said (even though force isn't needed) then it will remove ALL wine apps which probably isn't wanted as OTHER wine apps may exist.

It is not a problem, you can use file manager (nautilus). Open your "Home Folder" from "Places" menu. Then press "Ctrl-H" to see hidden files and folders. Then look for the hidden ".wine" folder and delete it. But BE CAREFUL, after deleting your .wine folder -->

If you press ALT+F2 and run:

uninstaller

You can remove apps there
