Cisco Anyconnect uninstall MAC OS

Step 1: If the Cisco Anyconnect application is still installed, please try the following steps first:

From the Finder go to the Finder go to the „Apllications“ folder

Look for the folder „Cisco" and open it

Then double click on „Uninstall Anyconnect" to start the uninstall process

Follow the instructions shown on your screen

Step 2: If this does not work either, please follow the procedure for manually uninstalling the AnyConnect client from a MacOS system:

Open the Terminal, if possible as root/ administrator.

Run the following shell-script:

sudo /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn_uninstall.sh

You will be prompted for your password. Once you enter it, just follow the steps on your screen

Step 3: If you still having trouble and/or the new Cisco Anyconnect installation complains that you have a version installed, follow these steps:

Cleaning out the old Cisco VPN kernel extension and rebooting the system.:

rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-startup.pkg
reboot

Run the following command:

sudo -s

exit
