Hi
have a happy Easter
I’m very new in linux
I have downloaded ITunes more times. But everytime I dawnloaded it I have done some mistakes during the installation because the program doesn’t work.Everytimes I uninstall it with Uninstall Wine Software and I succeded. But in this last time I doesn’t succed into uninstall it. So in the window of the uninstaller iTunes doesn’t appear. But it is still in my Desktop and in Dolphine. Now when I click in the icon of Itunes it doesn’t open. How can I uninstall it ?
Since it is in wine and thus in you home directory just remove the directories it lives in
Thanks for your help. I have done as you told me. So I used the terminal and I removed all the directory. At the end I used the command find -iname “iTunes” to know if all the directory were removed. The terminal show me other three files or directory still exist
./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
./.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
I tried to remove them but the terminal gives this message of error “No such file or directory”
Do I uninstall completely iTunes ?
Please, this is no usefull information. Do not only say you tried, but did not succeed, but show what you did and what you got: copy/paste from the terminal the prompt. the command, the output and the next prompt between CODE tags in your post. You get the CODE tags by clicking on the # button in the tool bar of the post editor.
How can we assess what you did wrong when you do not show what you did?
I can tell you
You may as well forget it
Because itunes basically sucks. It’s Apple, what else could you expect!
sorry I have been very vague
these are the passages I have done in the terminal
find -iname “iTunes”
and the terminal gives me some namepath of files and directory
then
rm -R -i (with all the found files or directory )
but then
linux-gjcv:~ # find -iname “iTunes”
./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
./.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
linux-gjcv:~ # rm -R -i ./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
rm: cannot remove ‘./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Application’: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove ‘Data/Apple’: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove ‘Computer/iTunes’: No such file or directory
linux-gjcv:~ # rm -R -i ./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
rm: cannot remove ‘./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Local’: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove ‘Settings/Application’: No such file or directory

linux-gjcv:~ # rm -R -i ./.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
rm: cannot remove ‘./.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application’: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove ‘Data/Apple’: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove ‘Computer/iTunes’: No such file or directory

Hi
Your issue is the white space between directories eg “Application Data”
it needs escaping with a leading \ in this case you either make sure
you are in the right place as in use the pwd command to check where you
are and force the removal of the directory and sub directories, else cd
down the directory tree eg;
cd .wine/drive_c/users/root/
pwd
rm -R -i Application\ Data
Also why running as root user? You can run wine as a normal user no need
to be root…

please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks!
To begin with, please post your copied/pasted computer output between CODE tags here in a post. You get the ODE tags by clicking on the # button in the tool bar of the post editor. And when applcable (as here) post completely: prompt, command, output, next prompt. Then you do not have to tell stories like: when I do x, I get y.
The normals find command to do aomething like this would be:
find . -iname 'itunes' -exec rm {} \;
BTW, when you do:
rm -R -i ./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes
you get two not found messages, because that is two files.
You shoud have done:
rm -R -i ./.wine/drive_c/users/root/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple\ Computer/iTunes
or
rm -R -i './.wine/drive_c/users/root/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes'
There is a blank space in that file name.
