Uninstalling Genymotion (v2.2.2) on Ubuntu (v14.04)


I installed Genimotion (v2.2.2), but I seem to have problems with it, as I couldn't play the devices I downloaded for it (tried several devices).

I tried reinstalling VirtualBox (v4.3.10) but it didn't help either...

Now I want to try reinstalling the Genimotion itself, but I cant find an uninstallation shell or any way to uninstall it (I also tried running the command:

sudo apt-get --purge remove genymotion

in the installation folder, but it didn't detect and removed the files).

I saw many people who suggested reinstalling it but never they didn't mention how, so I hope it's not a really stupid question...

Thank you


Solution

  • The .bin file you have downloaded to install it can also be run with --uninstall argument to uninstall genymotion. In your case the command will be something like:

    ./genymotion-2.2.2_x64.bin --uninstall
    

    You can often discover command usage with the argument --help.
