Did you install Virtualbox from the Ubuntu repositories or download the .deb package from the Oracle website ?

Opening a terminal and using the following command should do it..


sudo apt purge virtualbox-5.1

You may also be able to remove it using the Ubuntu Software application.

if not, post back.

You can definitely remove any .deb package using synaptic, even if you installed it with dpkg -i command.
Synaptic is the first additional package I add to any of my installations of the *ubuntu family.
