  • Thank you for consideration to my question. I uninstall it successfully by using **dpkg**. Use the following commands `dpkg --list (use this to get proper name of package) then use sudo apt-get --purge remove packageName ` – Mr. Chapii Oct 26 '22 at 19:32

I uninstall it successfully by using dpkg. Use the following commands dpkg --list (use this command you will get a list of packages install on your system. Find the package you want to delete from list.) then use
sudo apt-get --purge remove packageName (Package name should same as in the list)

In this way you can uninstall any package.

  • The package name is `virtualbox`, not oracle. `sudo apt purge virtualbox*` will remove all oracle vmware for any version. Can follow with `sudo apt autoremove` to remove the libraries/dependencies. – Jason Liu Apr 13 '23 at 22:30
