wine error- can't install or remove it


I got Wine for Fedora Core 4, but I'm having a little trouble setting it up.

Once I put the rpm in a folder, my impatience got the best of me. Rather than attempting to install it using the terminal, I just clicked on it and Fedora did something.

However, when I tried to remove it, I got the following:
Quote:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -U /wine/wine-0.9.2-1fc4winehq.i386.rpm
package wine-0.9.2-1fc4winehq is already installed
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -e /wine/wine-0.9.2-1fc4winehq.i386.rpm
error: package /wine/wine-0.9.2-1fc4winehq.i386.rpm is not installed
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -U /wine/wine-0.9.2-1fc4winehq.i386.rpm
package wine-0.9.2-1fc4winehq is already installed
[root@localhost ~]#
Is there a way to remove it and how should I properly install it after I remove it? Or is it installed and I'm just too stupid to see it?

package names are NOT file names, you do not uninstall a file, you uninstall a package. "rpm -e wine"
