Sorry but you're wrong.

When you do "make", binaries, man pages, libraries ... are built and stay in the source directory (probably /home/michael/dowloads/wine/).
When you do "make install", those files are copied in several specific (system wide) directories.

So removing /home/michael/downloads/wine didn't uninstall wine.
In fact, wine is still in /usr/local/bin, libraries in /usr/local/lib/wine ...


As many linux users, you're coming from MS Windows.
Did you used to remove a program by deleting its directory in "Program Files" ?

Let me search some doc about make...
