I'm trying to uninstall my attempted install of Windows Media Player 10 but it doesn't show up in the Uninstall Wine Software program.  So just want to go in and delete it manually.

Removing ~/.wine will work as well for this. I think you meant that
uninstalling WMP but leaving other apps will be more complicated,
which is true. That's why you should always use separate prefixes for
each app ;-).
