virtualbox.org

I have tried to search around for a solution to something which isn't a problem, really, but just a nuisance. I wanted to try out Virtualbox on my iMac but encountered trouble installing Ubuntu on it so I decided to uninstall and used the uninstaller for that. I also found a folder with the virtual Hard drives or whatever the correct term for it is, and deleted that as well. But all the same, a little PC-symbol is still showing up in the Finder's side panel and it is named 190. How do I get rid of that? I suppose it appeared when I created a partition when installing VirtualBox because I hadn't seen that before.

Would have been nice to get rid of it so I hope some have a good tip:)

What options do you have when you use the right mouse button on it (if your Mac has it)? Can you remove it from the context menu?

Just Open, Show Info and to open options for the side panel in Finder. By the way, now I right-clickedon the Finder-icon in the Dock and the 190 appeared there as well, like on the screenshot. The other computers on the network don't show up like that, though...

And no, no option to delete it and nothing happens when I choose Open, either

What does Finder give you for response if you try to open it? What does Options say? It's quite possible that this icon appeared as a pure coincidence when you removed VB.

It appeared after I had installed VB and has remained after I uninstalled it. There might of course be a slight chance that it has nothing to do with VB but I am trying to follow what is most likely here:) Anyway, if I try to open it, I only get the window saying Connect as... and it also says that Connection failed. If I click on Connect as.. I get up a window telling me that: The server 190 is accessible on the machine. You have local access to its volumes and files (translated from Norwegian by me)
But so far, I haven't been able to find this server which I guess is a directory created by VirtualBox - but where? Spotlight cannot find it and I have tried to go through other folders which Spotlight doesn't index but without any luck so far...

By the way - of course it shows up in the contextual menu of the Finder's Dock-icon since I had selected it in the side panel. Stoopid me

And what was the name of the VM you created? Can you somehow get the properties of the entry in your Spotlight so you know where it points to?

The VM I called Ubuntu. The second question I didn't understand. The properties of which entry? 190?

Of course the 190 entry. That way, you can find out where it points to.

The problem is just that it doesn't come up anything worth following. I only get results where 190 is part of a longer filename etc. Like img_1901.jpg etc.

Thanks a lot for trying to help here but in case you won't get a response immediately from now on, it has to with the fact that it is getting late here, but I come back to you in the morning if you have some more suggestions.

Oh yes, I also tried to restart the machine just to see if it was just something lingering there, somehow:)
