Type These commands in Terminal:-
sudo apt-get purge playonlinux
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
After that, there is still something left to do. Go to your hidden folders in /home/.playonLinux, which is where the settings are for POL. After deleting a program, the settings folder stays if you don't delete it manually.

Thank you. Does Ubuntu Linux see the files on a CD, because my computer does not see the files? M Sep 7, 2016 at 0:17
This one command will remove wine and playonlinux completely.
sudo apt purge wine* playonlinux* && sudo apt autoremove && rm -r ~/.wine ~/.playonlinux
Also there can be .deb files of wine and playonlinux in /var/cache/apt/archives which you can remove by apt clean and there can be some files of Those dos apps which can be left behind like saved game ..etc. You have remove those manually .
