I have installed Wine just to play with it (and installed a game that had approx 7-8 GB) and now I have uninstalled Wine and removed it configs and I am left with these 7-8 GB less free space than I had before.

I have no idea where this place evaporated since I had like ~~ 8 GB occupied (16 GB free) before the isntallation

This will maybe show you what I mean :

Wine user prefixes are located by default at each user's home in ~/.wine.

Remove that folder to take back the space Wine took when you installed Windows software.

To view the folder open nautilus navigate to your user's home and press Ctrl+<h to display hidden files/folders.
