How to Uninstall VirtualBox Machine on Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking for ways to completely remove VirtualBox from your Mac? It's not as straightforward as simply dragging the app to the Trash, but don't worry, we've got a step-by-step guide to help you uninstall VirtualBox machine on your Mac.

Step 1: Download the Uninstaller Tool

Begin by downloading the VirtualBox uninstaller tool from the MacUpdate website. Once downloaded, navigate to the 'Downloads' folder located under 'Favorites' and find the downloaded file.

Step 2: Launch Finder

Double-click the VirtualBox dmg file to launch the app. This will automatically verify the disk image and launch the uninstaller tool.

Step 3: Select the Uninstaller Tool

In the window that appears, click on the 'VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool' in the lower right-hand corner of the screen to begin uninstalling the app from your Mac.

Step 4: Allow Exception for One Time

You may see a message asking you to allow an exception for this one time. Click 'Allow' as we need to do this to complete the uninstallation process. Please note that this setting will not be changed permanently, and the download is safe and trustworthy.

Step 5 & 6: Access System Preferences

Next, find System Preferences on your dock and launch it. Select 'Security & Privacy'. Here, you'll see an option to allow the exception we just granted earlier.

By following these steps, you can successfully uninstall VirtualBox machine from your Mac. Remember that simply dragging the app to Trash won't provide a clean uninstallation, so be sure to use this method for a complete removal of all files associated with VirtualBox.

If you're unable to uninstall VirtualBox after trying these steps, double-check that none of the steps were missed as it could be the issue preventing the uninstallation from completing successfully.
