I've been doing a lot of searching around the internet, but can't seem to find anything that tells me how to do what I want to do with winetricks. Just the other day, with the help of one of our forum members, I got my first Windows application to install and run! But before I made my post, I was trying to read the wineHQ wiki and some other tutorials. And I was trying my own experiments to see what I could do on my own.
One of the programs I was trying to get installed was adobeair. It is installed now. But in the winetricks I have two annoying entries that I can't seem to get rid of. One of them is even misspelled.
If possible I would like to get rid of:
Select adobeair
Select adobeaire

Re: Winetricks: Can't seem to reset to default.
Winetricks uses its own place to store various prefixes.
By default, this is ${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes
If you want to change the name of the wineprefix then you can rename the folder.
If you don't use the prefix at all, then you can delete the folder.
In your previous post, you used the default wine prefix in ${HOME}/.wine. So you can probably delete both directories without any problems.
By default, this is ${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes
If you want to change the name of the wineprefix then you can rename the folder.
Code: Select all
cd "${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes"
mv adobeaire "Adobe Air"
Code: Select all
cd "${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes"
rm -r adobeaire

Re: Winetricks: Can't seem to reset to default.
I moved them both into a backup folder, and it appears that it fixed it. I should be able to delete them.
Code: Select all
~/.local/share/wineprefixes$ ls -a
. .. Backup
Code: Select all
~/.local/share/wineprefixes/Backup$ ls -a
. .. adobeair adobeaire
