Where does Virtualbox store Literally ALL of its Files & Packages?
So I'm thinking of installing Virtualbox on my Ubuntu machine but I'm not completely sure if I actually should. One thing that I am uneasy about is the fact that I don't know where all the files are stored. I am simply installing virtualbox with apt (but not directly downloading the .deb from the website), like this:
sudo apt install virtualbox
I'm not that crazy about what packages are coming with virtualbox, but I'm more concerned about every single file virtualbox adds to my filesystem so I know what to remove and how to remove it if I want to completely remove virtualbox.
Basically, I would like to know all the locations where virtualbox stores every single one of its files.
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Solution 1:
Look up the package (and each dependency) in https://packages.ubuntu.com ...
... and Scroll to the bottom of the page...
...and click on the link for "list of files"
Solution 2:
You can get this info from the Properties menu in synaptic
...but only for installed packages.
I have virtualbox-6.1
installed, not virtualbox
, but here is the information for that (in a pastebin, it is over the 30,000 character limit for an answer :(

FWIW, virtualbox is a wonderful tool, I use it all the time.
