Something strange! Wine 1.10 doesn't want to delete stuff.

So, recentley I upgraded to the new 1.10 with apt, I am running 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP kernel, although I don't know why it thinks I have to have smp, I have a 2400+ sempron, my v-card is a 7300Gt nvidia.

And after I upgraded, I shut it down and I went to bed. The next day, I tried to play WoW, everything was cool, no glitches, it ran noticeably faster, so I changed the graphics settings so I can enjoy it even more, it even ran faster with those settings. And after an hour of playing, it crashes, and whines about memory. Ok, I restart it, run it again, and after 15 minutes, it crashes again. And with every restart of the game, it crashes faster. So, screw that, I'll go play some HL2. Well, it was good, got around 60FPS at most places, but when it has to delete temporary saves, it just can't. There is nothing strange in the output, but the lines: "Can't delete /blah/blah/.wine/halflife/hl2/SAVE!"

Am I the only one here ?

do a
ls -lah /blah/blah/.wine/halflife/hl2/SAVE!
that should explain why the file is not deletable (do the right
substitutions of course)

You didn't happen to run wine as root?

The "!" wasn't in the name of the folder, it was just there as a grammatical thing, sorry , I don't really whats that name in english.

But its not just with HL2, its with every "high-end" game, by high-end I mean the games that this computer can take before blowing itself up.
WoW just says something about memory.
