I installed VirtualBox by downloading the .deb file directly from their website, however, turns out I won't actually need that program and I have no idea on how to uninstall it.

I found a couple solutions that suggested sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox but that doesn't work since I didn't install it from apt, upon running whereis virtualbox I get the following directories:

/usr/bin/virtualbox 
/usr/lib/virtualbox 
/usr/share/virtualbox

Do I just delete everything from those directories or what do I do to properly uninstall the program?

    @karel It doesn't work, I get the message "no packages to remove", edit: wait let me try the other solutions :) I just tried the first one – Jsh0s Jul 23 '20 at 17:35

    You can also just double-click the original .deb file (open it with gdebi) and wait a second. in the upper right, it'll have an option to uninstall the program. – KGIII Jul 23 '20 at 17:40
