You can't. The only thing you can do is to remove ~/.wine directory and start over. CAREFUL that will remove all programs installed under Wine.

You can't remove those individual files from your prefix, best to star
from scratch. But to do so:
$ rm -rf ~/.wine ~/.winetrickscache ~/winetrickscache ~/winetricks

That'll blow away your installed apps as well...

I am trying to do the same thing - Remove Wine, Winedoors, and all installed programs.

I removed .wine and .wine-doors from my folder. Wine is still on my application menu, though, along with the list of programs I had, too. If I reinstall Wine, the programs are still there.

Can someone help me remove them completely, or maybe give me the default .reg file to reset everything? Thanks.
