Completely remove Wine 64-bit?

Hello, I'm still learning FreeBSD and currently using 10.0 amd64. I tried installing one of the "wine for freebsd amd64" packages made by David Taylor.

I downloaded and installed doing:
Code: 
tar -C / -xvzf wine_amd64.txz

I'm encountering a lot of obstacles running windows programs, some work but mostly don't. I would like to remove everything I put into my file tree. There is a .wine folder in my home/user_name directory, as well as multiple files in my usr/local/bin/ ... it's a big mess.

I want to clean all this up easily but I don't know where to start since I'm a noob. Perhaps there is no easy way and Windows has spoiled me...? :\
 
Do pkg info wine - if there is an other output than pkg: No package(s) matching look it is registered and you can remove it simple with pkg remove wine. If it is not: do /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate to update the locate-database and do locate wine and remove the directories or files very careful manually.
 
I would look how to list files with full paths from the tar package and feed such list to the mv command to move them somewhere. If nothing will looks broken in following days, then remove given somewhere.
 
The local-database update then
Code: 
locate wine
and careful manual deletion was the way I had to go. It worked, thank you!

How do you display the files in a .txz file?
