How do I shut down detected virtual machines on Mac OS?












0















I haven't used VirtualBox probably since 2016 and today I dusted it off and of course I needed to install an updated version, but I soon got this message:




The installer has detected running virtual machines. Please shut down
all running VirtualBox machines and then restart the installation.




What is a streamlined bash/zsh commands I could run on terminal find out what virtual machines are running and to shut them down?

          Apparently the commands are:



          VBoxManage list vms



          And to unregister and delete them:



          VBoxManage unregistervm --delete <uuid>
