If you\u2019ve decided not to use Wine anymore on your Linux PC, you\u2019ll probably want to know how to uninstall it and purge all Wine programs from your system. Sadly, if you\u2019re a new user, there\u2019s no built-in way to remove Wine from your system. Instead, you\u2019ll have to do it manually. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

Note: In this guide, we\u2019ll show you exactly how you can remove Wine. We\u2019ll cover the \u201cwine\u201d package. If you installed Wine on your Linux PC with a different package, you\u2019re on your own.<\/p>\n

Purge Wine from Ubuntu<\/h2>\n

To purge Wine from Ubuntu, start by opening up a terminal window. You can do this by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open, start by deleting the Wine folder in your home directory using the\u00a0rm\u00a0<\/strong>command.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nrm -rf ~\/.wine\n<\/pre>\n
After deleting this folder, uninstall all Wine packages. Be sure to use the\u00a0\u2013purge\u00a0<\/strong>command-line switch to erase any configuration files that Wine has on Ubuntu.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get remove wine* --purge\n<\/pre>\n
When the installation is complete, you\u2019ll also have to run the\u00a0autoremove\u00a0<\/strong>command to eliminate any leftover Wine packages that might still be there on the system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get autoremove -y\n<\/pre>\n
With the\u00a0autoremove\u00a0<\/strong>command complete, Wine is purged from Ubuntu.<\/p>\n
Purge Wine from Debian<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
To thoroughly purge and uninstall Wine from Debian, start by opening up a terminal window on the Debian desktop. Do this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard or search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu. Next, use the rm\u00a0<\/strong>command to delete your Wine folder from your home directory with the terminal window open. This folder holds all Wine-related apps.<\/p>\n
\nrm -rf ~\/.Wine\n<\/pre>\n
Next, use the\u00a0apt-get remove\u00a0<\/strong>command to uninstall the Wine app and any Wine-related programs on Debian. Finally, be sure to use the \u2013purge\u00a0<\/strong>command-line switch, as this will also erase any configuration files that happen to be on the system.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get remove wine* --purge\n<\/pre>\n
When everything is uninstalled from Debian, you\u2019ll also need to use the\u00a0autoremove\u00a0<\/strong>command to get rid of any remaining Wine packages that might still be there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get autoremove -y\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the\u00a0autoremove\u00a0<\/strong>command is complete, Wine will be purged from Debian.<\/p>\n
Purge Wine from Arch Linux<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
To get the Wine application purged from Arch Linux, start by opening up a terminal window on the desktop. When the terminal window is open and ready to use, delete your Wine folder using the\u00a0rm\u00a0<\/strong>command.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nrm -rf ~\/.Wine\n<\/pre>\n
After deleting the Wine folder, you\u2019ll next need to uninstall the Wine package. However, while doing this, don\u2019t use the\u00a0pacman -R<\/strong>, command as this will only uninstall the \u201cwine\u201d package, instead of the \u201cwine\u201d package and all its dependencies.<\/p>\n
Instead, uninstall the \u201cwine\u201d package using the\u00a0-Rsc\u00a0<\/strong>command-line switch. This command will help you delete everything related to Wine on your computer that exists.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Rsc wine\n<\/pre>\n
Purge Wine from Fedora<\/h2>\n
To start, open up a terminal window on the Fedora desktop press\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard, or search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way. When the terminal window is open, use the\u00a0rm\u00a0<\/strong>command to delete your Wine folder from the computer.<\/p>\n
\nrm -rf ~\/.Wine\n<\/pre>\n
Now that the Wine folder is removed from Fedora, you\u2019ll need to uninstall the Wine packages from Fedora. Thankfully, unlike a lot of other Linux OSes, there\u2019s no need to purge anything. Dnf does it automatically.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf remove wine -y\n<\/pre>\n
After uninstalling the Wine packages from your system, Wine will be purged from Fedora.<\/p>\n
Purge Wine from OpenSUSE<\/h2>\n
To purge Wine from OpenSUSE, start by deleting your Wine folder from the computer. To do that, you\u2019ll need to open up a terminal window. Open up a terminal by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard. You can also open one by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n
Next, using the\u00a0rm\u00a0<\/strong>command, delete the Wine folder from your home directory. Keep in mind; this will remove all of your Wine programs and files installed.<\/p>\n
\nrm -rf ~\/.Wine\n<\/pre>\n
After deleting the Wine folder, you will need to get rid of the Wine packages on your system. To do that, use the\u00a0zypper rm\u00a0<\/strong>command, but be sure to include the -u<\/strong> command-line switch. This switch will also allow you to uninstall all related dependencies to the \u201cwine\u201d packages on your OpenSUSE system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper rm -u wine\n<\/pre>\n
Once the installation of the Wine package and the rest of the dependencies are complete, you\u2019ll have purged Wine from your OpenSUSE system.<\/p>\n
