Wine installation added miscellaneous to my home folder












0















I recently installed Wine-stable following the guide on their website. It seems to work great. The problem is the installation has left a bunch of files that say "invalid encoding" where a file name should be, which are currently cluttering up my home directory. I attempted to move/delete the files but any attempt to get rid of them simply breaks wine. I will list the steps I followed during install. What have I done wrong?



sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

sudo apt-key add winehq.key

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'

sudo apt update

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
