Are you kidding? What if he has a file howto-install-vmware.txt on his
system? You should NOT recommend to users to blindly erase everything
they find. You cannot expect what he has on his system. I don't mean
to attack you but that was a foolish, irresponsible, and potentially
dangerous suggestion.
