Thanks! for me it was
sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-workstationand the player was a part of it.– jasxirJun 13, 2019 at 14:26
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 to uninstall. For instance, to uninstall VMware Player, please enter this in a terminal window:
sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-player

2I think this is the most complete answer, especially to make sure the reader can uninstall everything they intend to.– Nick SSep 27, 2018 at 14:53
sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation

The official documentation states you have to run this:

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

2I think Lorenzo meant that his readers should substitute
PRODUCT-NAMEwith the actual product name, e. g.vmware-player. May 19, 2017 at 20:00
