Lately I installed folder lock 6 using wine on my Ubuntu 12.04, then I again uninstalled it but the folder lock icon was not removed from the dash home. I thought uninstalling wine would solve the problem but the icon is still on dash and cant be removed.

First you have to find the actual name of Folder Lock which is used by Wine. I am assuming that the name are either folderlock or folder lock or folder-lock.



Now you can remove folderLOCK by executing this command:



    sudo find / | grep -i folderlock | sudo xargs rm -r -f


or



    sudo find / | grep -i 'folder lock' | sudo xargs rm -r -f


or



    sudo find / | grep -i 'folder-lock' | sudo xargs rm -r -f


Try these commands one by one. And check whether icons are removed or not. It would remove all instances of Folder Lock installed in your system.




  • If it did work then last option is to remove Wine then delete any existing file and directory of Wine and then re-install it again. You must follow following commands in series:



    sudo apt-get autoremove wine
    sudo apt-get --purge remove wine
    sudo apt-get autoremove
    sudo apt-get autoclean

  • When wine is un-installed execute following command(this command will actually remove any instance of Wine:



    sudo find / | grep -v '/var/cache/apt/archives' | grep wine | sudo xargs rm -r -f

  • Then install Wine again:



    sudo apt-get install wine



That's all. This is the last option for you.
