Should I uninstall before reinstalling?

[Engineeringtech]

I ran Ubuntu 18.04 ESM until about six months ago, when, sick of the alerts, I did an in-place upgrade to 20.04.LTS. Then two months ago moved to 22.04LTS, and finally 24.04LTS two nights ago. I had a working Wine installation under 18.04 and on rare occasion used the Windows IrfanView picture viewer/editor. Somewhere along the line, the Wine installation got hosed, as I now see rectangular areas devoid of graphics.

Should I uninstall Wine and reinstall it? Is is ok to use the package editor for the uninstall? Or should I use the terminal? If so, how?
