SYNOPSIS
wine reg delete key [/v value | /ve | /va] [/f]
DESCRIPTION
wine reg delete removes a registry key, a single value, or all values within a key from a Wine prefix. It mirrors the Windows reg delete command. With no value options, the entire key and all of its subkeys and values are removed.By default the command prompts for confirmation before deleting. Use /f to suppress the prompt, which is required when running non-interactively in scripts.
PARAMETERS
/v value
Delete the named value under the key./ve
Delete the key's default (unnamed) value./va
Delete all values under the key while leaving the key and its subkeys intact./f
Force the deletion without a confirmation prompt.
INSTALL
sudo dnf install wine
sudo pacman -S wine
sudo apk add wine
sudo zypper install wine
nix profile install nixpkgs#wine
CAVEATS
Deleting a key without specifying a value also removes every subkey beneath it. There is no undo, so export the key first with wine reg export if you might need to restore it.
