So, I uninstalled the program:
Did you check the directories afterwards, removing any files you found

All configuration information is about to be removed. Do you wish to
keep your configuration files? You can also input 'quit' or 'q' to
cancel uninstallation. [yes]: no

That looks like a success ...
However, I have a bit of a problem, when I attempt:

If you were using virtualbox before vmware, could this be left over?
Virtualbox has been removed from Debian stable versions - see
https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox but I think you could pick it up from
Oracle.
If you've nothing that depends on either particularly, I'd recommend
virt-manager and the kvm/qemu universe.

Please advise.

Actually, I am using the QEM/KVM virt-manager programs for Windows 10
and an very happy with them. However, right now I'm hung up on accessing
the host and the internet from the Windows guest. I was hoping to get
som insight from VMWare as to a solution.
My major problem is, because of the problem with VMWare Player, I can.t
use Synaptic or apt to update and upgrade Bookworm.
