When you run wine, it operates in a prefix which is ~/.wine by default.  Any files which are created when you run wine, such as the registry, installed programs etc exist there.  If you want to start from scratch you remove or move ~/.wine

Alternatively, you can set a different prefix by using the WINEPREFIX environment variable, for example:

WINEPREFIX=/home/magicmaster87/wine-yugioh wine setup.exe

Each time, you want to use that prefix, you specify "WINEPREFIX=/home/magicmaster87/wine-yugioh"
