Uninstall Extension Pack

Can't remove extension pack on headless VBox 4.1

On Ubuntu server I had installed virtualbox 4.0.12, I upgraded today to 4.1. But extension pack was still from 4.0.0.

Code: Select all   Expand view

VBoxManage list extpacks
Extension Packs: 1
Pack no. 0:   Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
Version:      4.0.0
Revision:     69151
Description:  USB 2.0 Host Controller, VirtualBox RDP, PXE ROM with E1000 support.
VRDE Module:  VBoxVRDP
Usable:       false
Why unusable: VBoxExtPackRegister returned VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH, pReg=0000000000000000 ErrInfo='VirtualBox version mismatch - expected 4.0 got 4.1'

Now, I want to remove this extension pack, here's what I did:

Code: Select all   Expand view

VBoxManage extpack uninstall VBoxVRDP
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
Successfully uninstalled "VBoxVRDP".

But if I list it again, I still get:

Code: Select all   Expand view

VBoxManage list extpacks
Extension Packs: 1
Pack no. 0:   Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
Version:      4.0.0
Revision:     69151
Description:  USB 2.0 Host Controller, VirtualBox RDP, PXE ROM with E1000 support.
VRDE Module:  VBoxVRDP
Usable:       false
Why unusable: VBoxExtPackRegister returned VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH, pReg=0000000000000000 ErrInfo='VirtualBox version mismatch - expected 4.0 got 4.1'

I don't know how to remove it so I can install extension pack 4.1.
Please help.

Thank you, that worked, and I had to run it as root.
