How to Uninstall Cisco AnyConnect on a Mac

If you're experiencing issues with your Cisco AnyConnect software or want to start fresh with a new installation, uninstalling the program is a straightforward process that will completely remove all application and settings files related to Cisco AnyConnect.

To begin, enter your computer password and click OK to continue. You'll need administrative privileges to install and uninstall software on your Macintosh computer.

Next, click the Uninstall button to initiate the removal process. A confirmation message will appear asking if you're sure you want to completely uninstall the VPN software. Click OK to proceed.

The uninstallation process will walk you through a series of steps that will remove all associated settings and files from your Mac.

Alternatively, you can also manually uninstall Cisco AnyConnect by following these steps:

1. Open your MacOS Finder and navigate to the Applications Folder.

2. Locate the Cisco folder and double-click on the Uninstall An-connect application.

3. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.

It's important to note that in order to re-install Cisco AnyConnect successfully, you must completely remove the software using their uninstall program before reinstalling the software. Simply reinstalling the VPN software without properly uninstalling the previous version may not resolve the issue.

If you're experiencing issues with connecting to your VPN after entering your NETID and password, it's possible that something in the VPN software configuration has caused it to fail, and simply re-installing the VPN software does NOT resolve the issue. In this case, completely removing and reinstalling the VPN client may be necessary.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully uninstall Cisco AnyConnect from your Macintosh computer.
