How to uninstall Genymotion from Linux

Direct answer: follow the official uninstallation guide for Linux, which covers device removal, installation directories, and launcher. Here is a practical summary:

Open Genymotion Desktop and remove all virtual devices (right-click on the device > Delete).
Delete the Genymotion Desktop installation directory. If installed in your home directory:

  rm -r $HOME/genymotion

If installed elsewhere, replace with the correct path.

Note for installations for all users:

  sudo rm -rf /opt/genymobile

Delete local Genymotion Desktop data:

  rm -rf $HOME/.Genymobile $HOME/.config/Genymobile/Genymotion.conf

Delete the launcher (if present):

  sudo rm -f /usr/share/applications/genymobile-genymotion.desktop

Notes:

If you also use VirtualBox with Genymotion, you may need to uninstall VirtualBox separately (optional, depending on your environment).

Do you have a preference between which directory/variant you use on Linux (for example, if Genymotion was installed only in your home directory or also in /opt)? I can adapt the exact commands if you tell me the path used.
