“How to uninstall/remove VMWare Workstation from my Ubuntu 9.04?” was the question I asked myself this morning.
Because VMWare Workstation wasn’t installed using synaptic package manager, it is not visible in add/remove Ubuntu menu.
sudo aptitude remove vmware isn’t good solution because it lefts over some configuration files you don’t need (such as virtual adapters, folders, shortcuts, etc).
So, with little bit Googling (yes, I always do that, even if it is about some really simple thing you can do it yourself) I found out that VMWare Workstation, during the installation creates uninstall script, which is usually located in /usr/bin/ and its name is vmware-uninstall or vmware-uninstall.pl. By running this script, you’ll uninstall VMWare Workstation from your system completely. Worked for me :)
The reason why I’m removing VMWare and use Search Engines for such a simple things, will be explained in some of my future posts.
