How can I delete VMWare from my MacBook Air?

Solution 1:

Try this:

1. Open Activity Monitor from /Applications/Utilities and change the Show drop down from My Processes to All Processes.

2. Sort by name and find any processes that have the name VMWare.

3. Press the Quit Process button and click Force Quit.

For removing the app, I recommend AppZapper.

Solution 2:

Here is how you remove VMWare Fusion as referenced here from VMWare: Manually uninstalling VMware Fusion

Fusion 4.x

In Fusion 4.x, there is no uninstaller. Most Fusion files are contained within the application bundle (that is, the Fusion application in /Applications). To uninstall Fusion 4.x, drag the application bundle from the Applications folder to the Trash.

Also, ensure to delete these additional files and folders if they are present.

Note: Depending on the environment, some of these files may not be present. Some files may exist only if Fusion 3 was originally installed on the machine that was later upgraded to Fusion 4.

/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion /Users/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion ~/Library/Caches/com.vmware.fusion ~/Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion ~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusion.LSSharedFileList.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusion.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile ~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusion.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusion.plist.lockfile ~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusionDaemon.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusionDaemon.plist.lockfile

Note: In Lion, the Library folder inside your user directory is hidden by default. To access your Library folder:

Click the Finder icon. While holding the Option key, click the Go menu. This reveals your Library folder.
