Mountain Lion is now installed

I upgrade to Mountain Lion after removing VMWare Fusion.  What can I test to verify that I got a good installation?

I se a question mark next to VMWare Fusion.  How can I get rid of that?

I must not have deleted all the files.

One file I cold not delete was this one:

/Users/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion

Also, apparently I did not complete the uninstall, based on a closer read of these instructions.

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1017838

I watched the video and did not see anything about running a script.  Now I have, Mountain Lion.  Hopeful I can complete the uninstall.




Thanks!

1) Try to do it with sudo rm -rf "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion" (also the ").

What does this do?  I execute it but do not know if it did anything.  I was given the UNIX prompt.

2) Check in the activity monitor if a VMware process is running (view all processess and sort by name, makes it easier).

How do I do check?

Other questions can wait until I am following you...
I see I still l have a "Windows 7 x64" folder filled with VMWare files. I do not need this, so shall I remove it?

Ok, I have removed the Windows 7 x64 and emptied the trash.

In Activity Monitor, I found no running program called VMWare or Fusion.

What shall I do next?  I still have the attached image of a question mark for VMWare Fusion.

I could remove it from the dock.  But I thought it was better to find out why it's being displayed.  I thought it may mean there are other files yet to be deleted.
