Uninstall the desktop app on multiple devices

How admins can uninstall the desktop app for mac, Windows, and Linux devices

  • Updated on Feb 17, 2026

Overview

This doc lays out uninstall commands admins can use in conjunction with their device management software (e.g., Microsoft Intune, Kandji, etc.) to uninstall the CSE desktop app in bulk (i.e.,for multiple users at once).

Note: Cloud Secure Edge does not currently support bulk uninstall of the desktop app; for bulk uninstallation of the desktop app, admins must use the commands in this doc with their own device management software.

Note: For all approaches that follow, the uninstall command must run with admin or system privileges.

  • Uninstall desktop app (versions 3.28.1 or older) without removing settings:

    • /Applications/Banyan.app/Contents/Resources/conf/uninstall.sh

  • Uninstall desktop app (versions 4.0.0 or later) without removing settings:

    • /Applications/SonicWallCSE.app/Contents/Resources/conf/uninstall.sh

  • Full uninstall (removes all settings) of desktop app (versions 3.28.1 or older):

    • /Applications/Banyan.app/Contents/Resources/conf/full-delete.sh

  • Full uninstall (removes all settings) of desktop app (versions 4.0.0 or later):

    • /Applications/SonicWallCSE.app/Contents/Resources/conf/full-delete.sh

  • Uninstall app without removing settings for desktop app versions 3.28.1 or older:

    • /opt/banyan/resources/conf/uninstall.sh

  • Uninstall app without removing settings for desktop app versions 4.0.0 or later:

    • /opt/SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge/resources/conf/uninstall.sh

  • Full uninstall (removes app and all settings) for desktop app versions 3.28.1 or older:

    • /opt/banyan/resources/conf/full-delete.sh

  • Full uninstall (removes app and all settings) for desktop app versions 4.0.0 or later:

    • /opt/SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge/resources/conf/full-delete.sh

Note: Admins can also uninstall the desktop app via Add or Remove Programs on Windows devices.

  • For a full uninstall (removes app, registration, and all settings), enter the following command for desktop app versions 3.28.1 or older:

    • C:\Program Files\Banyan\resources\conf\full-uninstall.cmd

  • For desktop app versions 4.0.0 or later, use the following command:

    • C:\Program Files\SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge\resources\conf\full-uninstall.cmd

  • If there is no separate partial uninstall command available (i.e., one equivalent to “Add or Remove Programs”), run one of the following commands for desktop app versions 3.28.1 or older:

    • C:\Program Files\Banyan\Uninstall Banyan.exe

    • C:\Program Files\Banyan\Uninstall Banyan.exe /silent

  • Run one of the following commands for desktop app versions 4.0.0 or later:

    • C:\Program Files\SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge\Uninstall SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge.exe

    • C:\Program Files\SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge\Uninstall SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge.exe /silent

1. Create a Win32 app or PowerShell script.

2. Enter the following uninstall command:

"C:\Program Files\SonicWall Cloud Secure Edge\resources\conf\full-uninstall.cmd"

3. Assign the script/app to device groups or user groups.

4. Run in system context.
