I was able to unistall the version of VirtualBox that was preinstalled on software. Then I installed the lastest VirtualBox 6.1. Now I see the newest version of Virtual Box 6.1 will not work on this OS. How do I uninstall it? It is not listed in the software pkgs list but is on the System Tools.

I downloaded it from the Oracle site then used Open with Linux Install Application when I clicked the file in Downloads.

I am sure Swarfendor will agree on
Synaptic Package Manager
Code:
sudo apt-get install synaptic

Once installed, run it from your App Menu under Administration. You will need to enter your root password.
Once open, mid-top of the GUI window, you will see a search function. Click that and enter "virtualbox"
You can then select the packages you want to remove from the list by right clicking and selecting which option you want. Then click the "apply" button on the top right(ish) of the GUI window.
