The wineprefixes (including the default ~/.wine) are not part of the package
and are not deleted when the package is purged. You have to manually delete it
if you want to clean it. But you can also make fresh wineprefix by giving it a
different name with the environment variable WINEPREFIX.

You can do this with something like:

  WINEPREFIX=~/whatever.wine wineboot -u

Then you could copy-paste+overwrite the contents of
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64 with
those of the same directory in ~/whatever.wine and try wineboot -u on the old
prefix again.

Regards.
