Question

linux

I can't uninstall VM VirtualBox from Ubuntu. It keeps giving the same thing.
Not an expert in Linux, help, who can do it?
Here's what it says on the command line.


When I try to uninstall through Ubuntu Software, I get the following.

Answer 1

It's likely that you didn't enter the full name of the package you want to remove. Try the following commands

systemctl stop virtualbox
dpkg -l | grep virtualbox*
ii  virtualbox-6.1                             6.1.10-138449~Ubuntu~bionic                      amd64        Oracle VM VirtualBox

The output will be something like this, depending on which version you have.
After that, try to uninstall with the following command
apt-get remove --purge virtualbox-6.1
or
apt-get remove --purge virtualbox*
The purge key will also remove all files related to VB. I hope my advice helps you

Answer 2

Perhaps you removed some packages through the terminal and now the software cannot uninstall the program correctly, maybe you should try to remove the program files through the file manager (delete the folder with the program files).
