Uninstalling Speedify from macOS App Store

This article explains how to fully uninstall Speedify on macOS when you installed it through the Mac App Store. Because macOS preserves app data when you delete an app, a few extra steps are needed to remove all the files Speedify leaves behind.

Let's Get Started

Step 1 Delete the Speedify app

Open Finder and go to your Applications folder. Right-click Speedify and select Move to Trash. Then empty the Trash to remove the application.

Step 2 Remove leftover directories using Terminal

When you installed Speedify from the Mac App Store, macOS created several support directories that aren't removed when you delete the app. To clean those up, open Terminal and run each of the following commands one at a time:

rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.connectify.Speedify
rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.connectify.Speedify.PacketTunnel
rm -rf ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.me.connectify.Speedify-Mac

Step 3 Remove the Speedify network configuration

The last step is to remove the Speedify VPN configuration from your network settings. The steps differ slightly depending on your version of macOS.

On macOS Ventura and later: Go to System Settings > VPN, then click the information (i) button next to Speedify.

Select Remove Configuration to delete it.

On macOS Monterey and earlier: Go to System Preferences > Network, click on the Speedify extension in the list, then click the minus (-) button at the bottom. Click Apply to confirm.

Speedify is now fully removed from your Mac.
