Uninstall winetools


I've downloaded and installed the winetools program. Now I would like to uninstall it, but I dont know what to do. I've triede make unsinstall and google, but none of the worked. Alse I cant find a readme file.
Anyone knows what to do? Shall I just delete all the files and folders?

Looks like it. I just downloaded it and checked, and all the install script seems to do is make a directory in /opt and copy the files there, and make a symlink.

So it's not really "installed" in the classical sense, so just deleting the folders should be fine-- though the whole thing is so tiny, don't quite know why you'd bother.

However, you might also want to drop Frank a note (the contact email is on the Winetools page) to mention that there are no uninstall instructions in the archive or on the site, so it's confusing to new users like yourself.

Hm, it happens probebly when I run it, but it also makes "winetools" folders in all my useres home folders.

Still I think you are right, and I'll just remove the files.
Thanks.
