Hello,

Unless you manually set a path with WINEPREFIX, Wine only use the default path
~/.wine .

Third party apps that use wine/forks (steam proton, lutris, etc.) puts the
wineprefixes in their own places.

You may find all wineprefixes with a command such as:

  find ~/ -type d -wholename "*/drive_c/windows"

Regards.
