I am having trouble uninstall VMWare Horizon from my PC
I googled and found some commands to run on VMWare website:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Linux/2012/horizon-client-linux-installation/GUID-9B5BE7D9-B4A9-4CBB-9534-7E65A813A751.html
According to website, I choose to run this command because I do not remember setting executable permissions on the installation file:
For uninstallation, if you have not set executable permission:
sudo env VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=yes \
sh ./VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle -u vmware-horizon-client
I changed the syntax based on the version and build I have on my VMWare Horizon Client application:
@OMN:~$ sudo env VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=no \
sh ./VMware-Horizon-Client-5.4.1-15988340.arch.bundle -u vmware-horizon-client
This is the output I got:

Then, I navigate to bin folder and run vmware-uninstall
this is the output I got:
@-OMN:/bin$ vmware-uninstall
You have gotten this message because you are either downgrading VMware
Workstation, Player, or VIX, or because you attempted to run either
vmware-uninstall or vmware-uninstall-vix.
If you are downgrading, please uninstall all newer versions first, then
install again.
The vmware-uninstall* scripts have been deprecated. Instead, please use
the vmware-installer.
Long form:
vmware-installer --uninstall-product PRODUCT
Short form:
vmware-installer -u PRODUCT
Where PRODUCT is one of vmware-workstation, vmware-player, or vmware-vix.
For a list of which products are installed, you may run:
vmware-installer --list-products
or:
vmware-installer -l
Lastly, I ran vmware-installer -l
, this is the output I got:
@-OMN:/bin$ vmware-installer -l
Product Name Product Version
==================== ====================
