If you don’t plan on using a VPN for the time being again on the Mac, you might want to disable the VPN menu bar option in the VPN section of the Network preference panel, otherwise it will remain in the menu bar even if the VPN service is no longer used or needed, or even if the profile has been deleted from the Mac. Deleting the VPN app from the Mac Applications folder and then removing the VPN profile from Network preferences should be sufficient in that scenario. Note that some VPN providers use this party apps specifically to install and manage VPN configurations, and if that applies to your VPN usage then you’d also want to delete that VPN app or run the uninstaller script or application that comes bundled from the VPN provider. Obviously once the VPN has been deleted from the Mac it will no longer be usable, unless you set it up and configure the VPN again anyway. With the VPN gone, you’ll no longer have access to that VPN configuration profile or service. Repeat with other VPN configurations to remove if necessary, otherwise close System Preferences as usual.

Click the minus “-” button with the VPN network selected to delete the VPN from the Mac.

Select the VPN network you wish to remove and delete from the Mac.

Go to the  Apple menu in the top left corner of the screen, then choose “System Preferences”.

Note this is deleting a VPN configuration profile from the Mac, which is not the same as simply disconnecting from a VPN.

How to Delete a VPN Configuration from Mac

Removing a VPN from the Mac is incredibly simple, and if you manually configured a VPN then you’ll be impressed at just how easy it is to delete the VPN especially compared to the manual setup process which is much more complex.
