I just can't uninstall genymotion from Ubuntu 16.04

Question

I installed Genymotion in my Ubuntu 16.04

But now I want to uninstall it.

I tried executing

./genymotion-2.7.2-linux_x64.bin --uninstall

But that returned

bash: ./genymotion-2.7.2-linux_x64.bin: Permission denied

How can I uninstall genymotion from my Ubuntu 16.04?

Sounds like you're only missing sudo Try:

sudo ./genymotion-2.7.2-linux_x64.bin --uninstall

Or if that didn't work, try with sh like this:

sudo sh ./genymotion-2.7.2-linux_x64.bin --uninstall

Thanks, but nothing works. Everythings I found on internet try this, but nothing could solve my problem. Finally I erase my hard drive and install Ubuntu again to solve this problem. – Mehedi Hasan Kajol Aug 24 '16 at 17:30

Step 1: Remove all virtual Android devices and data from genymotion program.

Step 2: Open Terminal and delete installation directory as superuser (when you install any .bin file program it get installed for all user)

cd /opt
sudo rm -r genymobile

Step 3: Remove configure folders and file.

cd /home/(your user folder)
rm -fr .Genymotion

Step 4: open menu editor from Settings Manager and delete Genymotion launcher, if it is still in the menu.

(my directory is ~/genymotion)

You can try command chmod +x genymotion-2.7.2-linux_x64.bin, And then try ./genymotion-2.7.2-linux_x64.bin --uninstall. I hope it work well.

Step 1: Go to your downloads folder where you've downloaded the genymotion installer. (The installer filename is something like "genymotion-3.2.1-linux_x64.bin".)

Step 2: Right click on the directory and click "Open in Terminal".

Step 3: In terminal type the following command to uninstall genymotion:

sudo ./genymotion-3.2.1-linux_x64.bin -d {install path} --uninstall

Note: The installer version may vary; change it according to the version you've installed. The install path in my case was:

/opt/genymobile/

Replace the install path if you've installed it in some other directory.

The full command, in my case, looked like this:

sudo ./genymotion-3.2.1-linux_x64.bin -d /opt/genymobile/ --uninstall

Step 4: To delete the genymobile configuration file from your home folder, open terminal and type the following commands:

cd
sudo rm -r .Genymobile/

Step 5: Eventually, if you want to completely remove virtualbox and its configuration files type the following command in terminal:

sudo apt purge virtualbox
