how to clean up when application uninstall fails

[ennoborg]

A few days ago, I tried Ancestral Quest 14. Install went fine, but when I tried to uninstall, something went wrong, so I'm stuck with an Ancestral Quest 14 entry in the Wine Programs menu, and another one in the Wine uninstall dialog.

On Windows, I know how to clean up the Program Files and Start Menu folders when a thing like this happens, and I can also use something like ccleaner to get rid of the uninstall entry, but I don't know how to remove start menu and uninstall entries in Wine, and I can't find anything about that in the FAQ either. There is an entry about cleaning up everything, but not for a single application.

Can anyone help? I'm running Wine 1.4.1 on Mint 14 Nadia Xfce.

thanks,

Enno

P.S. The Ccleaner test page has no recent tests, but I can give it a try.

You can do this through Winetricks -> Select the default wineprefix -> Delete all data and applications inside this wineprefix
or go to '/home/your_name/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/' and delete folder(s) you need.

Hope for Mint is the same like in Ubuntu.

H'm, delete all would be to much, and removing program files would not change the start menu.

But on looking again at the Wine C: drive, I found a users folder, with my name in it, and there I found the usual Start Menu entries too.

After removing those, and restarting Mint, I got rid of the Ancestral Quest entries.
