Sorry but you're wrong. When you do "make", binaries, man pages, libraries ... are built and stay in the source directory (probably /home/michael/dowloads/wine/). When you do "make install", those files are copied in several specific (system wide) directories. So removing /home/michael/downloads/wine didn't uninstall wine. In fact, wine is still in /usr/local/bin, libraries in /usr/local/lib/wine ... As many linux users, you're coming from MS Windows. Did you used to remove a program by deleting its directory in "Program Files" ? Let me search some doc about make...
