Some programs store data in the Windows "My Documents" directory.   
Wine may have mapped this directory to ~/Documents, which is outside  
of the .wine directory.  The same may apply for the Windows Desktop,  
My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos directories.

Check there for configuration data created by Windows applications.
