how to uninstall virtualbox closed source (not ose edition)

Asked by Koen

I installed the virtualbox closed source version from the virtualbox website.

I used the signing key and ad an third-party source to do that. after that, i installed the .deb from the website.

now i want to get it of my system but i don't know how.

i am using ubuntu 9.04 and virtualbox 2.2.4

how do i uninstall it?

The Computer janitor from the Systems settings menu may help. To run it manually:
sudo computer-janitor-gtk

Manually installed packages should also be visible in Synaptic (sections: local/*) and can be uninstalled from there.
