  • does this unistall windows as well?

  • @RizzyWow I am assuming you are referring to the Windows Guest OS that was installed inside of a virtual machine created with VMware Fusion? If yes, then the answer is "no, this would not uninstall Windows as well". The procedure in this video would only uninstall/remove the Fusion software. If you wanted to remove your virtual machines that would require another procedure. See the comment posted by "Kevkill" for details on how to do this.

  • If you want to remove your virtual machine, you must locate it using Finder and then either drag it to the trash or right-click the file and click Move to trash. The default save location for your virtual machine is in your Documents/Virtual Machines folder. Once the virtual machine is deleted, and the trash emptied, you will recover any hard drive space that it used.

  • how do you make sure you get the partition amount of storage space back from vmware?
