When you want to remove the VirtualBox program that you installed to create virtual machines on your Linux/Ubuntu computer and install a Windows or macOS operating system, you need to delete all files on your system in terms of file integrity.

It is much easier to #uninstall a program on Windows systems, and unnecessary files should usually be deleted from Program Files.

However, uninstalling a program in Ubuntu is easy, but the location of files or folders may now be in many different places after uninstallation.

Using a terminal to uninstall Oracle VM VirtualBox virtualization software gives you an advantage.

Now follow these steps to remove #VirtualBox from #Ubuntu.

Step 1: First of all, if you have created a shortcut on the Ubuntu desktop location, delete it manually because you will get an error for that shortcut location during the uninstallation process.

Step 2: After removing the VirtualBox desktop shortcut, open the terminal and use the remove and purge command mentioned in our article and confirm the packages to be removed. At this point, packages such as Extension Pack or DKMS will be removed.

Step 3: In this step, you need to remove unnecessary files left on the system after uninstallation. First, delete the /"VirtualBox VMs/" folder where you created the virtual machines.

Step 4: Delete the configuration file where all the user settings you made on VirtualBox are kept. Also delete the VBox folder in usr/lib.

Step 5: Finally, you need to delete the user group automatically created on your system when you installed VirtualBox. First check the existing group with the compgen command, then delete the vboxusers group with the groupdel command.
