This will cause “settings” to be deleted in 64 bit PC!!!

# check whether you have wine installed on your system or not.
wine

sudo apt purge wine

• Using Transmission program which is already installed on Ubuntu 22.04, dowload the preferred version of office from 1337x.to
• In my case I’ve used MS Office 2010
