VMWare has an article about how to manually uninstall. Generally you put the app in the trash and then check the numerous preference folders/files to delete any lurking leftovers.

It's best to forget about Windows if you are using the Mac.  Just move what you 
don't want to the trash or use terminal to uninstall uncleanly.  If you wish to 
use terminal I'm sure some one will advise you what to do as it's a unix 
language and I have had help using it.

I forgot to mention that in the case of something with a preference panel 
applet, if there isn't an uninstall package with the app you you will probably 
find it in either ~/Library/PreferencePains, or /Library/PreferencePains.

Hello Everyone,

I want to uninstall both VM Ware Fusion and MacFuse from my machine.

Is it difficult to uninstall a program on the Mac?  Believe it or not, I've
never uninstalled a single app.  On the other hand, I've only installed 5
third party apps and use all but VM Ware Fusion. So I guess that's a good
average, eh?  (smile)

I know that Apple states that all one need do to uninstall an app is to
simply put it into the Trash but I have heard through the years that one
must do more than this to really uninstall it.

I'll be honest, my fear of uninstalling incompletely or incorrectly comes
from my many years of working with Windows which, as many of you may know,
can turn ugly with just the click of a mouse.  In years gone by, if one
didn't uninstall something correctly, it could cause major startup problems.
While I'm certain this is not the case in OSX, some fears are difficult to
dispel.

Any and all replies welcomed.

Mark
