Uninstall softwares installed by WINE

It is amazing that using wine, we can even "install" a windows program (easy for tiny ones such as pajek, but harder for big ones such as starcraft). But what should we do if someday we want to remove them?

The answer, like a lot of things in Linux, is amazingly simple: just remove all the files! Normally, it will just create a directory somewhere in ~/.wine/drive_c.
