How to uninstall Virtualbox on windows10?

7

I would like to uninstall Virtualbox from my Windows10 computer, but I can not find it in the Programs and Features list. I was looking for an uninstaller exe in the install directory and on the internet, but I haven't found anything.

How is it possible to remove it, and all of it's drivers?

1Download the installer from the VirtualBox website, run the installer, when presented with an option to install/repair/remove the current installation select remove – Ramhound – 2017-07-08T14:58:46.817

There is no uninstall or repair option – Iter Ator – 2017-07-08T15:07:41.047

5Be sure your using the installer to the exact same version you have installed but, of that still doesn't work, install it again then remove it – Ramhound – 2017-07-08T15:32:39.603

I've tried it, but the installer freezes at the end, and it is never completed – Iter Ator – 2017-07-08T15:50:17.540

1You didn't mention that in your question. Submit the installation log file. Your question in its current form cannot be answered. Manually removing an unknown amount of components of a software package cannot be described and documented since we don't know what components are actually installed on your system. Update your question. – Ramhound – 2017-07-08T15:53:05.413

Use CCleaner(google it). It comes with an Uninstaller Functionality. Maybe That would help. Thanks – Mintu Singh – 2017-07-08T19:26:55.697

It should be called "Oracle VM Virtualbox" under `Apps & features'. I assume you were just looking for "VirtualBox"

Does this remove the drivers that are installed alongside VirutalBox? – Stevoisiak – 2019-08-06T19:13:08.387

My Start Menu item for Oracle folder with VirtualBox had no Uninstall link either.

Here's how did it in my case (VirtualBox 5.x)

  1. Downloaded latest installer .exe package for 5.x from here
  2. Ran it and upgraded my older version
  3. Ran the same installer again, but this time chose Remove

NOTE: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\ExtensionPacks still remained after uninstall so I manually deleted it.

Detailed instructions for removing a corrupted VirtualBox installation from Windows 7 might apply as well.

Can you [edit] to include the content from your other answer here as well? Even though it's on this site, it is good practice to have the information in an answer self-contained. Thanks :) – bertieb – 2018-09-20T11:56:10.590

This question should just be flagged as a duplicate instead of submitting two identical answers, which results in two questions, with the same answer. Allowing users to upvote the same answer twice. – Ramhound – 2018-09-20T12:04:57.800

I caution anyone from using the solution outlined in the linked answer, it’s extremely dangerous, to manual decouple driver files. However, the accepted answer to the duplicate, is safe enough to do. – Ramhound – 2018-09-20T12:23:53.237

@Hope - The instructions work perfectly fine on Windows 10. An answer to a specific OS isn't warranted if the instructions are identical. – Ramhound – 2019-09-05T12:21:24.030
