In addition to what Anand said about running as root. I wonder if you made the same error as I made post install of Wine. I was still at root, and ran wincfg, which put the .wine directory in /root. Thinking back, I think I just deleted the .wine directory in /root, then ran again, but as user, winecfg. This will then put the .wine directory in /home/<username>/.wine , where it belongs. If your not sure how to remove it from /root . Either use KDE's superuser filemanager, or on the CLI. rm -f -r /root/.wine -f is force (when it's gone, it's really gone) -r is recursive and removes directories (not needed if just removing files) All the best.
