VMware Install Cleaner

Looking for a way to tidy up your VMware Fusion virtual machines without spending a dime? VMware Install Cleaner is a handy free tool that helps you clean up, defragment, and shrink your virtual disks. Although it’s not an official VMware product, it works great alongside VMware’s own utilities, especially after you’ve already run their built in disk shrinking tools.

One thing to keep in mind: this tool won’t shrink pre allocated disks. Instead, it’s perfect for cleaning up leftover large files that Fusion’s cleanup might have missed. Think of it as a second pass to really optimize your virtual machine’s storage.

But that’s not all VMware Install Cleaner can also help clean registry files from your system. This can be a lifesaver if you’re dealing with installation errors or planning to set up new VM software, making sure your system stays clutter free and runs smoothly.
