I'm currently trying to uninstall Wine from my Fedora system using dnf, and while I seem to have been mostly successful, I'm still noticing a few packages that I can't seem to remove.

Running dnf list | grep wine shows about a dozen helper utilities for Wine and their versions:

wine.i686 7.12-2.fc35 updates
wine.x86_64 7.12-2.fc35 updates
wine-alsa.i686 7.12-2.fc35 updates
wine-alsa.x86_64 7.12-2.fc35 updates
wine-arial-fonts.noarch 7.12-2.fc35 updates
wine-capi.i686 6.16-1.fc35 fedora
wine-capi.x86_64 6.16-1.fc35 fedora
...and so on

Yet when I try to remove any of these packages (say, wine.i686) with dnf remove, I get a "no match for argument" error.

Additionally, I can still see some of these Wine packages in my Applications display (using GNOME, and clicking the 9 dots on my dock, I see a folder that appears to have several apps with the default icon, but is actually empty once opened. This folder used to contain 9 or 10 Wine utilities.)

I've already deleted the .wine folder in my home dir and run dnf remove wine successfully.

How can I get rid of these remaining Wine packages and the ghost apps in that folder?

Thanks in advance, -Robbie

dnf list

lists available packages, it isn’t limited to installed packages.

To list installed packages matching wine, run

dnf list --installed '*wine*'

If any are shown by the latter command, you should be able to uninstall them. If no packages match, you’ll see

Error: No matching Packages to list

instead.
