Depens on how long it happened. Could be your system was doing something
like updatedb.

There are only three parts where WineTools touches your config: When you
add printcap printers it adds something. When you install IE6 it moves
the actual config away to .wine/config.$$ where $$ is the process id of
the running process. While installing Typograf FontManagement I add
something to it. I never delete it. But for sure if you edit it you
can delete it by setting the contents to zero.

cp /usr/local/winetools/config.new ~/.wine
