VMware Fusion Uninstallation

Hi, I hope this is the right forum for this question (I am a switcher )

Anyway, I installed VMware Fusion a few weeks ago because I needed Microsoft visio for some database stuff. I don't need it now, and I want to uninstall VMware fusion, but I am not sure how to do it completely so that I can get rid of the windows xp virtual machine as well.

Do I just delete VMware and go to my documents, and empty the virtual machine folder as well?

Thanks

I uninstalled Vmware Fusion not too long ago, just run the original .DMG program file that you downloaded from VMWare.com. After its been mounted, a folder will appear with a readme file, installation icon and uninstall icon. Run the uninstallation script and you'll be set.

Uninstalling VMware Fusion
1.
Power off or suspend all running virtual machines, and quit VMware Fusion.
2.
In the Finder, open the folder /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion, and double-click Uninstall VMware Fusion.
3.
When you are prompted to confirm, click Uninstall.
4.
Enter your administrative password to begin the uninstallation.
When the uninstallation is complete, a confirmation message is displayed.
If you installed the MacFUSE file system implementation programs during VMware Fusion installation, you have to remove it separately from the VMware Fusion uninstallation process.

Hey guys, I just stumbled upon this thread while browsing as an unregistered user and I signed up to ask this question. I uninstalled VMware Fusion using AppCleaner. The program removes all hidden files that are left behind when you remove an application file. Will all of the files that the VMware uninstaller deletes also be deleted with AppCleaner? I removed the Virtual Machines directory manually. Help would be appreciated.
