Removing a Wine Bottle

Bottles allows one to run applications developed for the Microsoft Windows operating system (OS) on Linux systems. I had created bottle for the desktop version of Comic Collector from CLZ. But as I had installed the Movie Collector and Book Collector desktop programs for managing our movie and book collections in a .wine-collectorz Wine prefix on an Ubuntu Linux system, I decided to remove the Comic Collector bottle and reinstall the software in the .wine-collectorz prefix instead. To remove a Wine bottle, you can take the following steps.

  1. Open the Bottles application and select the bottle you wish to remove by clicking on it.

  2. With the relevant bottle displayed, click on the column of 3 dots near the top, right side of the window.

  3. Select Delete Bottle from the pull down menu

    Delete Bottle

  4. When asked for confirmation for the deletion, click on Delete.

    Confirm Deletion

The bottle will then be removed from the list of bottles.

You can confirm that the directory associated with the bottle is gone by checking the ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/ directory.
