CANT UNINSTALL WINE!! HELP!!

drummerguy · Post by **drummerguy** » Sun Jan 31, 2010 1:45 am

Ive tried both of the commands that are in the 'using wine' document but nothing happens... the first command asks for a password and then says;

sudo: port: command not found

is the unistall done in the background!?!?

thanks in advance,

drummerguy

which os? port? freeBSD? there might be special command to remove ports?
Anyway on openSuse I compile the source ( readme ) and simply remove by: "make uninstall" in the source dir.
if you don't have the source dir you could search for wine: "whereis wine" and delete manually those files. Like that all programs in HOME/.wine could remain.

Let me guess... you're on a Mac, right?

Nope. It didn't happen at all.

Uninstalling Wine depends on the way you installed it. The reason doing:

sudo port uninstall wine
or
sudo port uninstall wine-devel

didn't work is that you don't have MacPorts installed. And installing it
won't help because you didn't use it to install Wine.

See
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-2e99ab6 ... b2d5839586
to find out how to uninstall Wine in general.

But why do you want to uninstall Wine in the first place? If it's
because you trashed your WINEPREFIX, then you realize that you can just
delete it, right? See
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-cf92baf ... 05caaf9c0a
for details.

HI.....I can't say whether I can provide you the information to your question but can post my experience regarding wine installation in linux.
sudo apt-get install wine
You could also use Synaptic (available in the menus somewhere) to search for it and install it.

He is on MAC, not Linux. I doubt that these systems use the same commands.

The question is: How did he install Wine in the first place.

If it was either Fink or MacPorts, the appropriate uninstall command needs to be issued:

sudo port uninstall Wine

fink purge Wine

If he used WineBottler, then he will have to open the Applications folder and drag the WineBottler application to the Trash.

There may be files left in the <user name>/Library/Application Support folder which can be opened on the Finder navigation menu and opening the appropriate folders and then dragging and dropping the Wine or WineBottler folders to the trash.

However, the question is why does the OP want to delete Wine in the first place? All of the applications above will run an updater to bring Wine to the current version without deinstallation of an existing installed Wine.

I will confirm they don't.

If you installed using MacPorts

Sudo port wine uninstall

If you installed using Fink

Fink wine uninstall
or
Fink wine purge

If you used WineBottler or Darwine:

Open the Applications folder and drag the appropriate object to the
Trash. Empty the trash.

If you used vanilla wine:

cd to the directory with the installation files:

make uninstall
make clean
(resets the installation directory so no executable objects remain.)

If you used ANY OTHER method, you are on your own. (That means contact
the author and ask how to remove.)
