Any way to reset Lutris + Wine to "factory settings"? (lemmy.world)

I’m new to this and have been trying to get Fallout NV to run on my Chromebook Plus. I had Fallout 3 running great but at some point I did something so that FO3 fails to launch.

Can I do something like a fresh install? I don’t care about losing data/ games.

Careful deleting the prefix, as it will delete game save data. I'd suggest backing up the data, and the prefix, before creating a new one. Just rename the prefix by adding --old to the end and move the save game out of the prefix

From OP's original question, I think that he's okay with not retaining those:
