I tried installing wine and saw that its consuming very big space so I didn't installed it completely and deleted folder named wine but the storage is not cleared so how can I remove it completely?
I tried this command to install it sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386


sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable


and tried these commands to remove it
sudo apt-get --purge remove wine
cd $HOME
rm -r .wine
rm .config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -r .local/share/applications/wine
rm .local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm .local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
sudo apt-get remove --purge wine

It looks like you removed all traces of wine but installing wine also installed a lot of dependencies. You can remove them with sudo apt-get autoremove --purge


That will remove packages that were installed automatically and are no longer needed.
The packages themself are probably cached in your system. You can also remove them with sudo apt-get clean
If you have never done that, it will free a lot of space.
