Don't forget I compiled and installed via make install, so I had to manually remove the following entries: /boot/vmlinuz*KERNEL-VERSION* /boot/initrd*KERNEL-VERSION* /boot/System-map*KERNEL-VERSION* /boot/config-*KERNEL-VERSION* /lib/modules/*KERNEL-VERSION*/ /var/lib/initramfs/*KERNEL-VERSION*/ Then update the grub configuration: sudo update-grub2 Then look for any loose ends using 'locate': locate -b -e *dkms 3.18.2-* You get the idea.

That might be informative. Hmm... should be possible. Never needed to do this before so another learning experience for me here.

I used to work from home as a remote agent for a call center and they had a policy we had to use Windows no exceptions.

Could well be ... but 'locate' shows me this: aruna@debian:~$ locate Makefile.normal /usr/src/open-vm-tools-9.4.6/vmci/Makefile.normal /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/9.4.6/build/vmci/Makefile.normal Does that help or make any sense ? > > You have pointed me in the right direction so thank you.
