How do I remove a wine program?

Solution 1:

Wine is still not very good at removing programs, so your options may be rather slim. This is actually a problem inherited from the way Windows manages installed applications, so it won't change any time soon either.

You could manually remove the program's files from your virtual "C:\" Drive, then open the uninstall center and remove that application from the list. However, it is possible that the program will leave some cruft behind.

My best suggestion is that you use something like PlayOnLinux or WBM (Wine Bottle Manager) to manage your WINE applications. Even if there is not a script in PlayOnLinux for your application, you can still install it to a separate WINE prefix, and make uninstalls easier.

If you don't have too much to lose, you can go right ahead and remove your ~/.wine folder (run rm -r ~/.wine) (backup first just in case), then reinstall the applications you need. Chances are, it may even fix your Spotify problems.
