    Exclamation How to Uninstall VMware Player 3.0

    I'm running 32-Bit Ubuntu 9.10

    I downloaded VMware player through their website. Which of course required me to make an account. Anyways I downloaded the ".bin" file and installed with:
    "sudo ./VMware-Player-3.0.i386.bundle"
    But now I hate it and I'm just going to stick with VirtualBox which I love!
    Anyways VMware Player isn't in synaptic package manager or ubuntu software center.

    Look in the Virtualization forum (where all VM questions should be).
