Issue after Uninstalling Anyconnect

Anyconnect has been uninstalled on my Mac. I have been having issues with network connections so I ran "systemextensionsctl list" in Terminal. When uninstalling anyconnect it looks like the "com.cisco.anyconnect.macos.acsockext" Socket Filter Extension was not removed. How can I remove this from my machine? Is there an uninstaller or anything that can be used?

Try one of the below mentioned methods:

Method 1.

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Change your directory to Cisco Anyconnect Bin using the following command: cd /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin
  3. Then, list the files in the directory using the following command: ls
  4. Check to see if there is a file named "vpn_uninstall.sh". If the file exists, run the following command: sh vpn_uninstall.sh
  5. If successful, you should receive this confirmation message in the Terminal: "Successfully removed Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client from the system."

Method 2.

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Run the following command: sudo pkgutil --forget com.cisco.pkg.anyconnect.vpn

The issue I have is the network extension is left behind in the SystemExtention folder. I need to delete the extension.
