VMware Fusion
VMware Fusion is a desktop virtualization app that lets you run Windows, Linux, and other operating systems inside macOS.
What is VMware Fusion?
VMware Fusion is virtualization software for macOS. It is commonly used to create and run virtual machines for Windows, Linux, and other operating systems, often for development, testing, legacy app access, lab environments, and cross-platform workflows. Users may encounter it as a main app along with supporting files for virtual machine settings, networking components, preferences, and update-related data.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
VMware Fusion is legitimate software from VMware. It is generally safe, but removing it or its support files can affect virtual machines, saved settings, network configuration helpers, and access to guest operating systems or stored virtual disk data.
Recommendation: Keep if you use virtual machines or may need access to existing VM files. If you no longer use it, review whether you still need any VMware virtual machines before removing app data, because VM bundles and related settings may contain important guest systems and files.
