Ubuntu – How to check if the Wine prefix is 32 bit or 64 bit

32-bit64-bitplayonlinuxwine

I saw tons of threads explaining how to create a 32 bit prefix, but I want to check if the prefix I'm using is 32 bit or 64 bit. The reason I'm asking is that I'm using PlayOnLinux, and I've created a 32 bit virtual drive (for example X). Now when I open winetricks in the folder ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix, wineprefix gives me the message

You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.

But, when I opened wineprefix in ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/X, the message didn't appear.

How can I check if the prefix is 32 vs 64 bit?

All you have to do is, Browse the PlayonLinux's Virtual Drives. Go to the WINEPREFIX/drive_c/ folder and look for Program Files folder.

If you only see the Program Files and no ProgramFiles(x86) Then you are using 32 bit Wine Prefix. If you see both then you are using 64 Bit Wine Prefix. Hope this helps !!
