Is it safe to use

sudo apt-get autoremove

when removing wine? Will it make any changes to other installed applications?

The command you cite, sudo apt-get autoremove, will not remove Wine -- it will only remove packages that are "no longer needed" -- for instance, dependencies for packages that are no longer installed. To remove Wine, you'll need the correct command to remove the Wine packages.

  • Can you mention the correct command because I have tried several ways and could not make it unintall – Uthpala Pitawela Mar 30 '17 at 16:50
  • I'm not at my Ubuntu system at present, but it should be something like `apt-get purge package' with the correct Wine package name inserted. Care is recommended, however, because there may be other things you use that depend on Wine. – Zeiss Ikon Mar 30 '17 at 16:54
