Unable to uninstall wine in Ubuntu 18.04
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and recently I have installed wine and it was not able to find the .dll
files so I ran the command sudo apt-get remove winehq
it showed that the wine has been uninstalled but when I type which wine
I am getting the output /usr/bin/wine
it seems it hasn't been uninstalled completely and when I try sudo apt-get purge wine*
I am getting the following errors
E: Unable to locate package winehq.key
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'winehq.key'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'winehq.key'
Output of apt list --installed | grep wine

What am I doing wrong and how to complete remove everying that is related to wine and install install it properly
You can uninstall all dependencies related to wine
sudo apt-get remove --autoremove wine-*
You seem to have installed wine's development version (a.k.a. beta) which can be unstable sometimes. To remove wine, run:
sudo apt autoremove wine-devel wine-devel-amd64 wine-devel-i386 winehq-devel winetricks
I'll recommend you to install wine-stable to have a wine with minimal bugs. To install it run:
sudo apt install wine-stable
