I recently used wine in Ubuntu 16.04 for gaming purpose but It seemed to me that minute viruses attacked on my laptop through wine, so I am using these below commands




sudo apt-get --purge wine



sudo apt-get --purge remove wine




but when I do wine --version after executing above cmds terminal shows installed wine version
So do type this in terminal for removing wine completely




dpkg -l | grep wine | awk 'print $2' | xargs sudo apt-get purge -s




but if this will not work then replace -s with -y

  • How did you install wine ? What makes you think you have a virus ? Did you run wine as root ? You should be able to simply run rm -rf ~/.wine to remove all of your wine data.
