Why there is VBoxClient.pid files in /home folder

sangheeta

Hello,
After a fresh install of Solus 4 Budgie, I noticed some VBoxClient.pid files in my /home while I don't have VirtualBox installed.

Also there is an activity and I doubt its usefulness because I don't use virtualbox.

Is that normal? Because Gnome 3.32.1?
If not, how do I get rid of it?

Thank you

This is because the virtualbox-guest packages are installed by default

You can remove them with sudo eopkg rm virtualbox-guest-common

Thank you, virtualbox-guest-common & virtualbox-guest-current are now removed.
But that's strange, I never see this before, and 2weeks ago I did the same install of Solus 4 without see anything about these vboxclient files. Or they came with last friday sync, don't know.
And I will look later on a computer where I have installed solus 4 on, a month ago. EDIT: Same things on, why vboxclient is installed & run?

sangheeta It's pre-installed on the ISO to assist with those installing inside VirtualBox.
