'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

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.

the command ./genymotion-2.2.2_x64.bin --uninstall (x86 in my pc), worked perfectly, did you erase any of the genymotion files from the folder? if you did, you're gonna have to reinstall it from the beginning, and run this command again(sorry for my bad english)

I did need to use -d at the end of the uninstall to send it to the path.

./genymotion-2.12.2-linux_x64.bin --uninstall -d /home/genymotion

Im on Ubuntu 18.04.04.

For some reason, the above answers opens genymotion GUI but throws an error so I decided to find and delete the source folder and then remove genymotion from the applications list.

sudo rm -rf /opt/genymobile
sudo rm -rf /usr/shared/applications/genymobile-genymotion.desktop
