Correction.  The -f flag on rm suppresses all warnings, so
you have to actively check to see if .wine got deleted, e.g.
  ls -ld ~/.wine
If that shows anything, it's probably because root owns your .wine
directory, so rm -rf didn't work.  To delete files you created as
root, you have to delete them as root.
