sudo /etc/init.d/anydesk stop # or systemctl stop anydesk sudo /opt/anydesk/uninstall
On Mac, there is a "hidden" uninstall button. Open the AnyDesk app, go to About AnyDesk , and hold the Option (Alt) key to make a dedicated "Uninstall" button appear in the top-right corner.
sudo apt remove anydesk sudo apt purge anydesk # removes config files too
