What is the correct way to remove a virtual machine from VMware Player?

I have created a virtual machine in VMware Player but not yet installed the OS. I would like to remove the virtual machine and start over from the beginning of the process. What is the correct way to remove a virtual machine from VMware player?

Just curious, did you even look in the VMware Player Help File?  It tells you how to delete a Virtual Machine.

With the Virtual Machine powered off right-click it in the Virtual Machine Library and select: Delete VM from Disk

To your host computer, a virtual machine is merely a set of files - much like a document written using MS Word or any other word processor.  Just browse to where you created the files and delete them.
