I have tried for a few hours to answer this myself
Currently running Ubuntu 15.10
Installed Wine 1.9.2
If I type Wine --version
or
winecfg
it shows up, so I know it's there.
I followed these instructions when installing:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
I want to uninstall.
According to the FAQ:
https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_do_I_uninstall_Wine.3F
I think I am supposed to enter Make Uninstall in the source directory.
I've tried many directories but none will accept the Make Uninstall command.
Usual response to any directory I try is "make: *** No rule to make target 'uninstall'. Stop."
Judging by the install instructions I followed in https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
Where exactly would the source directory be?
cd to where in terminal?
Also, is there a command to find the Wine source directory?
Thank you for any help!

Re: Uninstall help, source directory needed
What the FAQ says is:
Since you installed Wine with your distro's package manager, that's the method you use to uninstall it. You don't have a source directory and don't need one because you didn't build Wine from source.If you installed Wine with your distribution's package manager, use it again to uninstall Wine (if you installed Wine from source, use make uninstall in the source directory to remove it).
