Unable to uninstall VirtualBox network driver


Drakakar

Last time I tried to uninstall virtualbox it failed with BSOD. I haven't been able to install any version of virtualbox since then. The uninstaller doesn't seem to execute. When I looked in the list of network drivers, the virtualbox driver was still there ("VirtualBox Bridged Network Driver Miniport"). I can do whatever I want, there is no way to uninstall them. I think there might be some undeleted registration information or similar, but I don't know how to safely delete them or what should be deleted.

thank you for your help.
