That still left a bunch of files. Can I just delete vmware directories? – Costa Feb 10 '15 at 16:09

The official documentation states you have to run this:

sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation

I had to change the command line Lorenzo Lerate provided to make it work for me for version 12.5.6:

sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-player

I think Lorenzo meant that his readers should substitute PRODUCT-NAME with the actual product name, e. g. vmware-player. – David Foerster May 19 '17 at 20:00

sudo vmware-installer -l
sudo vmware-installer -u PRODUCT-NAME

With the first command you can see what products you have. With the second you can choose which product uninstall

sudo  vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation

Used to uninstall complete vmware-workstation package including vmware-player.
