  • What do you mean, "all your data"?

    Well, your .wine folder contains your "virtual" C: drive, if you deleted that, you have lost your programs and settings for wine applications. I suggest to bite the bullet and be more careful the next time. Oh, and if it is really important, back it up.

  • All my data means most of my music, pictures and document folders. Also lost most of my desktop folders and files. What i find strange is some of the folders (just a few of them) still contain some files. Is there any way i can recover my stuff?

  • How did you delete the .wine directory?

  • I went to my /user folder, then clicked "show hidden files" and I thought that /.wine was just the wine program folder so I deleted it. I previously unistalled wine through software center.

I'm facing the same problem as you did. Since the .wine folder are actually linked with Documents folder, it's probably gone. However, you can try to recover some of the files by referring to this page http://www.webupd8.org/2009/03/recover-deleted-files-in-ubuntu-debian.html. Hope it can help.
