That's you who can't read. I will repeat again: "~/.wine/dosdevices/c: points to
what windows programs will see as a "c:" drive."

Please read it again (if that's what it takes). Then thing about "what does c:
drive or any other drive means on windows".

The rest of your Linux file system, is like "unpartitioned" space for windows
programs. Can install a program on windows to unpartitioned space (or partition
that is not assigned a drive or reparse point)?
