      I have a number of Ubuntu 22.04LTS vm's to migrate.

      All of them are running VMware Tools version 12325 and are guest-managed.

      From Google, I learned that you need to run:

      sudo vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
      

      to uninstall VMware tools.

      Except there is no such script anywhere on my Ubuntu vm.

      Any advice how to do this removal?

        Created a simple bash script to remove VMware Tools;

        sudo apt remove open-vm-tools
        
        sudo rm -r /etc/vmware-tools
        sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service
        sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service 
        sudo rm -r /etc/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service.requires
        sudo rm -r /etc/vmware-tools
        
        sudo apt autoremove
