Uninstall - moved to bin already

Level 1

Hi,

I had some issues with the VPN, so I wanted to try uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have a MacBook, so I just dragged the whole thing into the bin and emptied it. Now I realised, that I cannot reinstall it, as I did not uninstall Anyconnect properly. However, now I am stuck. I cannot properly uninstall it, nor can I reinstall it, because there is a warning that it is still installed on my laptop.

Could someone please help me on how to reinstall it and make it work, as I need it for University...

 

Thanks,

Eva
