[RESOLVED] How to delete app leftovers

[checco]

I installed Wine via discover on my Kubuntu 25.04 and then uninstalled it, but I see that there are still some links left in the /bin folder. How can I safely remove them without risking damaging my system?

Open a konsole and type: list /bin/wine* and press Enter. Verify that the list shown matches what you see in your snapshot. On the assumption that it does (it should), type: sudo rm /bin/wine* and press Enter.

The response to the list /bin/wine* command is as follows:
«list» command not found, but there are 15 similar ones.
What can I do? Do I manually delete from /bin?

My bad! I have/use aliases.

Type ls -la /bin/wine* and press Enter.

If you have Wine binary files installed still, as your image shows, then it hasn't been uninstalled -- or rather a different package version is still installed.

If you used Discover to install Wine, and you still have wine files in /bin then you didn't uninstall it.

If you have the Wine flatpak as well as the older stock Deb version from the Ubuntu repos, you might have uninstalled the flatpak, which does not have any files in /bin. The files in /bin would be from a deb install.

So show us what Discover shows.
OR
the output of:

apt policy wine

wine has not been uninstalled

show the output of

apt list --installed wine*​
