Removing VB doesn't remove your VMs. If you want to remove them too, check your home folder for the hidden folder .VirtualBox. Remove that and your disk space should return to you.

To remove the partition you made when installing VirtualBox, assuming you used the default location, you need to use this path:
Hard Drive > Users > (your account) > Library > VirtualBox
If you look in the VirtualBox folder you should see a folder called HardDisks that contains the vdi file that is the partition you created for VB. Any snapshots you made will be in the Machines folder. You can totally remove VirtualBox by putting the VirtualBox folder in the Trash and emptying it.
