Hi,

Everytime I start Wine I now have the following error:

"wine: invalid directory "/home/user/.wine/Office2013" in WINEPREFIX: not an
absolute path"

First of all this directory does not exits, so the error message is wrong.

Second, it was an existing directory a long time ago, but I have renamed it a
while back and only getting the error recently. I have no idea where wine is
trying to access this directory. Also, it occurs whatever the program I try to
start even if it has nothing to do with "/home/user/.wine/Office2013".

So maybe wine is looking for an icon/menu entry for an app that has now moved
to a new directory... or something like that... How can I clean that?

How are you 'starting' wine?

You likely have a .desktop file with that path somewhere in
~/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-*.desktop
