Completely uninstall Wine

[mothmanex]

Hello people. So, some days ago, I Installed Wine in my machine, and it was working pretty good. But I decided to add WineTricks. Since then, I can not install any program using wine, nor open the installed ones (gives me errors). So, does anybody knows about a way to completelly uninstall Wine? I have tries "yum remove Wine" and "yum remove wine*", but it doesn't do anything. I am using Fedora 13.

Try this

become root and then

yum remove --purge wine

also remove its folders

rm -rvI ~/.wine

Got that from here

just changed apt-get to yum

Hello Reality. First of All, thanks for your reply.

Now, I get the following messages, after going to root, I try using "yum remove --purge wine", this one gives me a error, which says that the command doesn't exist.

By using "yum remove -purge wine", I get the same error as before.

Finally, by using "yum remove purge wine" or "yum remove wine", I get the "no packages marked for removal".

Are you sure it's not already uninstalled?

rpm -qa | grep wine
yum list installed | grep wine

(if those don't return any output, WINE's probably already removed)

It looks line the wine package has gone, but you need to remove all of the others too.

I think wine-core is the key one, so 'yum remove wine-core' should remove the lot through dependencies.

I did briefly dabble with wine-tricks, I think that is at user level and lives in ~/.wine and is not installed by root. There is probably no need to remove the wine packages, just delete ~/.wine and then run winecfg again.

You will now need to run 'yum install wine' to fix the packages you have removed.

Thank you very much for your comment Trigpoint. I was able to completely uninstall and Re-install Wine again, now it is working as it should, thank you very much for your help.

If the mods can change the prefix to SOLVED, that would be nice.
