Uninstalling VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.9 > Orphaned program remnants remain in the system

[wEASy]

Hallo,

I am running VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.9 and would like to cleanly uninstall this software application from my guest OS.

Under Control Panel > Programs and Features I can select VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.9 and uninstall from there.

However, after uninstalling VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.9, orphaned programs remain in the system, especially many in the registry.

With which software other than Windows RegEdit can I remove these orphan program remnants ?

What about Geek Uninstaller ( https://geekuninstaller.com/ ) ?

This tool also lists the registry entries.

What kind of tool do you use ?

Or how do you realize that ?

Thanks for your help !

Use the VMware Cleaner - see knowledgebase - I believe article 1308
