Complete manual uninstallation?

Post by RF »

Hello everyone :)

I just had Virtualbox installed temporarily to run a program and now I want it completely uninstalled. I knew the running the uninstallation script didn't get everything … I found a hidden folder called ".ievms" in my user folder and trashed that as well. I just want to know if there's anywhere else I need to find files to remove that the uninstall would miss. Thanks so much for the help!

That folder is not part of VirtualBox...

Look for the ".VirtualBox" folder and "VirtualBox VMs" in your home directory. These directories contain data and will not be removed by the uninstaller. This is true for any user account who ran VirtualBox.
The rest will be removed by the uninstaller.
