I have a problem with VM Tool in macOS. The application installs without problems, but it can not be enabled. How can I delete all the data so I can do a clean installation?

What version of Mac OS? You're doing this in VMware Player? What hardware is running underneath?

Hi,

Welcome at the VMware communities forum.

Unfortunately Apple does not allow you to run a virtual macOS or OS X on non-Apple branded hardware.

Since this violates Apple's EULA (and as such the VMware Community Terms of Use), any issues you have with trying to run macOS or OS X using VMware Workstation or VMware Workstation Player cannot be discussed at this forum.

You'll need to have apple hardware and use a product like VMware Fusion or VMware ESXi and run a virtual copy of macOS / OS X on that in order for us to be able to help you.

FWIW, even running Player in boot camp on apple hardware and trying to run a  macOS guest still falls in this same category AFAICR.

Hope you understand,
