MacOS – Uninstall VMWare Fusion and VMWare Tools on boot camp partition

bootcampmacosvmware

I was using VMWare Fusion on a boot camp partition and installed VMWare Tools on the Windows volume.

How can I completely uninstall everything related to VMWare Fusion?

Best Answer

  • Uninstall the VMWare Tools in the VM using the uninstaller in Add/Remove Programs
  • Use the Fusion uninstaller on the installation DMG to remove VMWare Fusion
  • Follow this VMware KB article to clean up Fusion completely.

Sidenote: I can't find an official KB article for removing the tools, and those I do find all only mention Add/Remove. I am assuming it does a complete removal.
