Uninstall AnyDesk

To uninstall AnyDesk for macOS:

  • Move AnyDesk from the "Applications" folder to Trash
  • Delete the ~/.anydesk/ and /etc/anydesk/ folders for standard AnyDesk clients
  • Delete the ~/.anydesk-ad_<prefix>/ and /etc/anydesk-ad_<prefix>/ folders for custom AnyDesk clients

Note: Please note that deleting the above folders will permanently delete the AnyDesk-ID and Alias registered to that AnyDesk client and cannot be restored unless a backup has been made. Please see AnyDesk_ID_and_Alias
