Well, yes.
I have found it useful and brutally simple to just delete the .wine
directory and then have a nice installfest. That way cleared up a lot of
problems for me now and then.
I keep all the original install files in a separate directory so I can do
that.I might even write a shell script to assist me, eventually.
