Did you check the directories afterwards, removing any files you found
related to vmware?

If you were using virtualbox before vmware, could this be left over?
Virtualbox has been removed from Debian stable versions - see
https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox but I think you could pick it up from
Oracle.

If you've nothing that depends on either particularly, I'd recommend
virt-manager and the kvm/qemu universe.
