Uninstall wine stable with homebrew

Post by guinness »

Hi there.

On comand "brew uninstall --cask winestable" I am getting this error:
"Cask 'winestable' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists."

Also tried "brew uninstall --cask wine stable"... the error is this:
"Cask 'wine' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists."

Found this solution - "rm -rf "$(brew --prefix)/Caskroom/wine stable"... the result is this one:
"zsh: command not found: rf"

Please help me uninstall wine.

Thanks a lot for your attention in this matter!

I apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing with uninstalling Wine using Homebrew. It seems that there may be some confusion regarding the correct command and package name.

Copy
brew uninstall --cask wine-stable
This command should uninstall the Wine stable version if it was installed via Homebrew. If you still encounter an error saying the Cask is unavailable, it's possible that Wine was not installed through Homebrew or was installed using a different method.

To address the error message you received when trying to remove the Caskroom directory, please make sure to include the rm command at the beginning. The correct command should be:

Copy
rm -rf "$(brew --prefix)/Caskroom/wine stable"
This command will remove the Wine stable Caskroom directory, but only if it exists.
