PlayOnLinux will install every thing under .PlayOnLinux,
after uninstallting PlayOnLinux from package manager.
you can delete this /home/user/.PlayOnLinux folder, if its not deleted.

Iam not sure, but look at these folders :
/home/xxx/.wine
or in root use
/root/.wine
maybe u have to kill them too...only if they are there

Never ever run wine as root X_X, so there should not be .wine in /root.

That would remove the whole Wine, wine binaries too, Its not necessary to remove wine to use PlayOnLinux

The other thing is are you sure that its the actual file or is it just an icon? I know that when I uninstall things I have to right click applications and manually remove the item from the list despite it being uninstalled

Yes, Never run Root ?!
Sorry i use Linux since 2000 Only in Root Mode, never had any problems...never...
On my University all Notebooks ship with linux...the most useres hate sudos etc...
My Computer, My decision what to do, where to write, what to edit...
Its Ubuntuuser Problems, they hate root users "they kick the system behind the sudo . admin etc."
Year 2009, and using a console for editing system files, like in 2000 when X Desktop was a grey spot...
Nevertheless, good for multiuser Pcs...But iam the Administrator, and the whoe HDD is MINE, HAHAHAHA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to Problem, i know what hes talking about... Ive installed Catia...it Crahed... removed ALL about wine, everything...but the registry never was deleted etc. dont know where wine is writing all is files in... ?!

I Like it easy and userfrindly...
But sorry, a pc where i cant use everything simply by a click...its not my intention of a simple system...
Blaming ?! guy...come down..next linux fanatic " Linux is free " so let me be free in using my desktop for what i want... if i want a system which is restriceted everywhere in every point, i might use windows after 10 years again... advantage : it isnt nerving myself with shell prompts etc
no, to stay serious : i have set up my whole family to linux, and its really an migration problem with this "only stay in ur home folder"...or getting a call, this or that isnt working, to tell them : go in cosole and type "sudo bla bla bla..."
Sorry thats not my kinf of work with a computer... like mentioned before... ive never had problems with root, and using ubuntu since version 5.XX
