    Cannot uninstall Steam

    I am having a bit of a problem with Wine as I cannot remove any of the programs that I have installed in it, namely Steam. Even if I try to uninstall wine via "sudo apt-get remove wine" I can still navigate to Steam through Applications - Wine - Programs - Steam. I don't know what to do. I've even tried the "Uninstall Wine Software" option to get rid of Steam but that has also failed.

    You have used the wine uninstaller right? So all the program files are probably gone. To confirm that the files are all gone, check the folder .wine/drive_c/Program Files in your home folder. You will have to press Ctrl+h to see the .wine folder - it's hdden. Then see if there are any files related to steam, and if there are, delete them manually.

    To remove the menu entry, navigate to .local/share/applications/wine/Programs/, again in your home folder. And delete the .desktop file related to steam. You may have to logout to see the changes.
