Remove cisco anyconnect mac os

Here’s my situation.

I had the Cisco Anyconnect Mobility client installed on my work laptop. When I got let go last week, I didn’t want to lose all my data, so I bought a new personal MacBook Air M1 laptop, and imported my work profile on to it. I did a search in the finder for Cisco, and deleted anything I found, but every time I turn on my laptop I get the Cisco Anyconnect Mobility client pop up and I have no idea how to uninstall it, I can’t find a file to delete anywhere.

As I’m not no longer employed by that company and their IT team cannot help me. Please if anyone knows how to remove all traces of this application I would love some help!

Have you followed the following steps?

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 the VPN program

If not already, I would say try these steps. If you have already tried the above-mentioned steps, then try the following procedure for manually uninstalling the AnyConnect client from a Mac OS X system:

As root, run the following shell script from the Terminal:

Note: 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.

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.

sudo pkgutil —forget com.cisco.pkg.anyconnect.vpn

I know I’m coming across this months later, but maybe I can shed some light for other users experiencing this same problem:

I used AppZapper to remove a copy of Cisco VPN I had installed on my system and ended up having the exact same issue as Glenn when trying to reinstall. What I did was this:

Open Terminal and do the following:
- su (be careful when giving yourself root, of course)
- cd /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin
- ls (to see if there’s a vpn_uninstall.sh file)
If there is, then run the following command:
You’ll get this confirmation message in the Terminal:

Successfully removed Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client from the system.

Now go back to your .dmg or vpn.pkg file (whatever your source for installing is). Now when you get to the Destination part, you should get no error and you can proceed with the installation.

You didn’t uninstall it.

Any third-party software that doesn’t install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.

Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.

Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product’s Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer’s website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you’re waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.

You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.

If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you’re sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.

Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse . The same goes for «utilities» that purport to remove software.

1. Fully uninstall Cisco Anyconnect Mobility Client 4.6 from my Macbook according to this manual because of leaving company. Delete all certificates.
2. Install Cisco Anyconnect again at new company. Install new certificates.
3. Expected for asking new host and credentials / certificates. No, this app asking for previous (seems to be wiped out before) data (host / login / password) as it is cached / stored somewhere else. So, previous cleaning evidently not completed.
How to fix this?

hope this helps you

will ask for your password, then follow process.

No, didn’t help.
Uninstaller cleared just portion of files / settings.
So, I found:
/.anyconnnect
Username depends on user certificate at section «System» of keychain and also pointed by .anyconnect file.

/.anyconnect file.

Make some changes with system certificates when needed.
