I ran the following
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox*
before I installed the ones from the CD image option in the Devices Menu.
I just tried again to remove using
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-guest-utils
which I have just read is the way to remove the guest additions but that didn't do anything:
geraint@VB ~ $ sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-guest-utils
[sudo] password for geraint:
