How do I remove a virtual machine??

I have a screwed up X install under Fusion.
I know this is an OS X group but, I'm hoping someone in here knows
how to tell Fusion to delete/remove/destroy an existing VM?
I don't see any options that makes me think it is the one to look into.
The VMware site doesn't seem to address the issue??

TIA,
Paul N.

All you have to do is delete the virtual machine files themselves. Fusion stores in your home folder, inside a folder titled "Virtual Machines".

Should have said Windows not X. Ok, if I remove
"Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm"
does it recover the disk space?

Thanks,

Yes, if you empty the trash, or if you delete it from the Terminal.
