I deleted my .wine/ folder

Hi everyone,
One day I was getting rid of the files and software that I didn't used in a while, and I even deleted mt ,wine folder. I've tried looking for solutions online that I didn't found anything.

I created a temporary mail for this reason, since I thought if someone can send me a zip file with all the .wine folder throught internet without knowing my real email could be a good idea.

Ok, so what's the problem. That dir is created at runtime, there shouldn't be anything you'd need from someone else.

Restore it from your backup.

Otherwise, as Scimmia says, the base content is created by wine itself, you will need to reinstall any Windows apps that were previously installed there yourself.

Re: I deleted my .wine/ folder

Someone else's .wine folder would be of no use to you.  Really that's about on par with being out with friends and saying "I soiled my underwear, can I borrow yours?"  Sorry, you'll have to get a fresh pair of your own, you really don't want mine.

Re: I deleted my .wine/ folder

I will figure out how I can use wine.

No figuring should be needed, you should just run it just as you always have.  The ~/.wine directory will be created automatically.  If this is not happening, then there is a different problem and we can help with that.

Now the content of the ~/.wine folder, i.e., your own individual customizations, may be lost.  But you'll need to go through those again just like you did the first time.  No one else can restore your own personal settings.

However how can I label this topic as "SOLVED"?

If it is solved, then you can click "edit" on your first post to prepend "[SOLVED]" to the title.
