If the program didn't come with an uninstaller, you should be able to just go to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files and just delete the program directory.

Use WINE's uninstaller program, called "uninstaller." Just open a shell and type uninstaller and it will launch a GUI. I don't expect that just deleting the program directory would work any better in WINE than it does in Windows (i.e. anything jammed in the registry remains so).

I used uninstaller in Wine to uninstall the program. I can't find the ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files directory so that I can unistall any folders there. Because the program is still showing up in my menu bar. Can you tell me where this directory is?
I've clicked on the View tab and selected the "Show Hidden files".
