It may take a minute to get the output.Type wmic product get name and press Enter.Press Win + R, type cmd, and press CTRL + Shift + Enter.Provided that VirtualBox is registered with WMI, you can also uninstall VirtualBox with the WMIC utility. Replace packagename with the value from Step 2 and execute the following command:.

Enter Get-Package and note the full VirtualBox name.Press Win + R, type powershell, and press CTRL + Shift + Enter.If you need to force-uninstall VirtualBox, you can use the Get-Package and Uninstall-Package cmdlets in PowerShell. In case of an incomplete uninstall, you may need to reinstall VirtualBox first before you can properly uninstall it again. And secondly, if VirtualBox isn’t listed in Apps and Features, you can workaround the issue by downloading the installer for the same VirtualBox version you had before and using said installer to remove VirtualBox.

Note: If you try to uninstall VirtualBox from the start menu, then the same steps are applicable for that as well.
