How or where will I find C:\Program Files(x86) in Ubuntu 13.04? I cannot find it. I need it as I have installed a game there and I need to uninstall it. I have already tried to post a similar question here but this was unclear. thanks

For PlayOnLinux
cd /home/user/.PlayOnLinux
Then try to find destinations for Program Files folder
find . -type f -name "Program Files"
There may be many such folders depending on count of programs you installed
I'm guessing you used Wine?
Look here ~/.wine/drive_c/
But I suggest using winecfg to uninstall.

If you have Wine installed then Wine will appear on your Menu.
Click on it and you will see, on the right panel of the menu, Browse C: Drive.
Click on that to see what is there.
You should immediately see Program Files(x86)

The Linux directory structure is different from Windows's one. There is no "Program Files" directory.
For more info about the Linux directory structure, I found this usefull link on the internet, which may help you: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/09/linux-file-system-structure/
If the game you installed was a linux native game and you used a runnable file to install it (often .run/.bin, like most of the games from the Humble Bundle) they usually install themselves into the /opt directory.
If you used PlayOnLinux (or wine), you can find the wine "windows filesystem" in your home directory, inside the .wine directory ( ~/.wine/ ).
Instead, if you used the Ubuntu Software Center (or apt-get) to install the game, you can uninstall it by the USC or using
sudo apt-get remove GAMENAME
