They are normally found in `/home/username/.wine/dosdevices` or `/home/username/.wine/drive_c` – Terrance Feb 17 '21 at 18:05

Try using PlayOnLinux. It uses Wine, but it hides a lot of the complexity for you. – Paddy Landau Feb 17 '21 at 23:33

Does this answer your question? [Where does Wine store files?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/833808/where-does-wine-store-files) – cscarney Mar 24 '21 at 00:32

I assume you want to install a .exe file and find the file system.
Specifying your username is dobby, Wine would be located in
/home/dobby/.wine
and your files would be in
/home/dobby/.wine/drive_c
or
/home/dobby/.wine/dosdevices/c:
To install an exe, you can run it using
wine /path/to/your/wine.exe
or, if it's standalone, you can move it to
/home/dobby/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/FolderForExe/wine.exe
Edit: TLDR, just run
wine nameoffile.exe
to use an EXE

l have the wine folder containing many files but where do l go from there.you say run *wine /path/to/your/wine.exe* or*/home/dobby/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/FolderForExe/wine.exe* sorry don`t know how to do that. Trying to learn this system but very confusing – Dobby Feb 18 '21 at 20:19

@Dobby If the exe is an installer, go to the terminal/command line and run `wine filename.exe`. If it's a standalone, copy it to a new folder: run `mkdir /home/dobby/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/foldername` and `cp file.exe /home/dobby/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/foldername/file.exe`. – Amint Feb 19 '21 at 00:49
