$ wine uninstaller
Will launch the uninstaller, but it doesn't always work too well, and it's not a high priority to fix.
Should we perhaps reconsider that for 1.0? Perhaps something worth fixing during the freeze?
If you want to remove all programs and settings, you can do $ rm -rf ~/.wine
To start fresh. It will be recreated whenever you run any wine program.

A) It's a bit late to add bugs to 1.0.0. Maybe 1.2.0 B) Uninstalling apps in wine isn't that important. A simple rm -rf ~/.wine does the same. I grant that it's difficult if you have a lot of apps installed, but you could avoid this with using differing wineprefixes. C) There are many more important bugs to fix.

Not entirely. It doesn't remove desktop icons, menu entries, etc. --Juan
I agree that its certainly not necessary functionality wise, but to what extend are we going for polish and shine for 1.0 as a whole package, including bundled apps? I feel like 1.0 is as good a time as ever to try and make some of these things work. -- Zachary Goldberg Computer Science & Engineering Electrical Captain of Penn Electric Race Team School of Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania

I don't think patches will ever be refused outside the code freeze ;-) --Juan

My current semester ends during the code freeze :/. Perhaps post 1.0 though. -- Zachary Goldberg Computer Science & Engineering Electrical Captain of Penn Electric Race Team School of Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania

Doesn't seem to be any uninstaller metabug/general bug, so I nominated steam uninstall for 1.2: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9114 That way at least one uninstaller is on the list, we can add more later when/if needed. Removing icons is already nominated ,see: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10277

It would at least be nice to have an easy to way to get rid of some of the clutter under the wine gnome menu from installed applications when 1.0 comes out. _________________________________________________________________ Going green?
