How does one edit the 'Programs' folder in WINE?

Post by r2rX »

Greetz guys,

After playing around with some games and software, i've uninstalled a whole load of them....but their entries are still placed when you click on Applications -> Wine -> Programs. How do I manually remove any entries in this folder?

All the help appreciated. :)

5.1. How do I uninstall Windows applications?

Wine has its own built-in uninstaller - the equivalent of Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" function for running standardized uninstallers.

Note that Wine does not fully implement everything required to cleanly uninstall all applications. Some uninstallers might not function at all. To remove all programs installed under Wine, remove the ~/.wine directory:

Please note that in the following commands there should be no spaces in the path, particularly between $HOME/ and .whatever.
rm -rf $HOME/.wine
Also the uninstaller does not remove menu and desktop entries. To remove all Wine-created menu entries run the following commands
rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
Got it! Thanks. :)
