Cisco Anyconnect Manual uninstall Mac OS
Q: How do I uninstall Cisco Anyconnect VPN Client on Mac OS X?
Answer
If the application is still installed do this:
- From the Finder go to the Applications folder.
- Look for the Cisco folder and open it
- Then double click on Uninstall Anyconnect to start the uninstall process
- Follow instructions to uninstall VPN program
Here's the procedure for manually uninstalling the AnyConnect client from a Mac OS X system.
As root, run the following shell script from the Terminal:
sudo /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpn_uninstall.sh
You will be prompted for your password. Once you enter it, just follow the steps
If you still having trouble and/or the new Cisco Anyconnect installation complains that you have a version installed, follow these steps:
Enter these commands to clean out the old Cisco VPN kernel extension and reboot the system.
sudo -s rm -rf /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext rm -rf /Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-kext.pkg rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-startup.pkg reboot
If you installed the Cisco VPN for Mac version 4.1.08005 package, enter these commands to delete the misplaced files. The deletion of these files will not affect your system, since applications do not use these misplaced files in their current location.
sudo -s rm -rf /Cisco\ VPN\ Client.mpkg rm -rf /com.nexUmoja.Shimo.plist rm -rf /Profiles rm -rf /Shimo.app exit
Enter these commands if you no longer need the old Cisco VPN Client or Shimo.
sudo -s rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Shimo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/cisco-vpnclient.framework rm -rf /Library/Extensions/tun.kext rm -rf /Library/Extensions/tap.kext rm -rf /private/opt/cisco-vpnclient rm -rf /Applications/VPNClient.app rm -rf /Applications/Shimo.app rm -rf /private/etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-api.pkg rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-bin.pkg rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-gui.pkg rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-profiles.pkg rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.nexUmoja.Shimo.plist rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Shimo rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.cisco.VPNClient.plist rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/SyncServices/Local/TFSM/com. nexumoja.Shimo.Profiles rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/Shimo* rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Shimo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Growl/Tickets/Shimo.growlTicket exit
Finally this.
