I am using Ubuntu 11.10. By using wine software i installed some software like nimbuzz and ibibo messenger. Both the programs are not working and showing the bug as We're sorry, but an unknown error has caused ibibo Messenger to close.

So I wanna uninstall those.

How to uninstall those type of programs which I installed through Wine?

Type in a terminal or press Alt+F2 and type wine uninstaller will give you access to the built in Add/Remove tool from wine. From there you can uninstall a program you have installed in a bottle.

To completely remove the bottle for your user (and thus remove everything from a wine bottle and start again) you can open a terminal and type rm -rf ~/.wine or as an alternative open Nautilus and in your home folder press Ctrl+H, locate the .wine folder and delete it. wine will create a new folder next time you try to use it.

Search for wine in Dash. Select Uninstall Wine software there. There you can find all the softwares and will have option to uninstall.

If you are using Gnome Fallback just go to Applications => Wine => Uninstall Wine software

Type "unistall wine software" in your dash and open the application.

unistall wine software

You will see the list of applications installed, click on the one you want to unistall and click on "Remove".

I have found the answer! On the Wine menu, I clicked on "Uninstall Wine Software".

This opens an add/remove window. I just select the app and then click the "Modify/Remove" button.

Removing a Windows program in Wine

However, for some reasons that I can't understand, I have to do the same operation twice. After clicking OK three times, I still see the program on the list! When I select it and then click again on the "Modify/Remove" button I get this:

I click the "Yes" button and, finally, the app disappears from the list. But after that, I have to clean the shortcuts and folder manually. I wish I could find an easier and cleaner solution, but this one works fine anyway.
