How to Delete Securly

How to Delete Securly

If you’re searching for how to delete Securly, the main thing to know is that “Securly” can mean different things on different devices. Sometimes you’re dealing with a certificate (SSL), sometimes it’s a classroom/extension-style control, and sometimes it’s an MDM agent managed by your school. If you pull on the wrong part, it won’t work, especially on school Chromebooks.

Below, I map the removal steps to what you’ll typically find in the SERP: SSL certificate removal on Android, MDM unenrollment on Mac, and offboarding for Windows/Mac in the Google Admin Console. Then I explain why Chromebooks can be difficult and what to do instead.

What “delete Securly” usually means (extension vs certificate vs MDM agent)

Before you start, figure out which piece you actually have. Even though people use “Securly” like it’s one thing, the removal steps depend on the type.

1) Securly SSL certificate (often called an SSL cert)

  • You remove it from the phone/device that trusted it.
  • In the SERP, the Android route points to certificate removal inside Settings > Security > User Credentials.

2) Securly Classroom / extension-style control

  • This is tied to school-managed policies and classroom controls.
  • On Chromebooks, many “easy disabling” attempts get blocked or patched, so admin/offboarding is often the real solution.

3) Securly MDM agent (device management)

  • This is controlled by your school’s admin system.
  • For Mac, the SERP points to unenrolling from the device group table using the three-dot menu.
  • For Windows/Mac in school setups, the SERP points to removing the MSI agent via Google Admin Console > Devices, then deleting the device entry.

If you’re not sure which category you’re in, look for clues tied to certificates (certificate lists) versus device management (admin console / MDM entries / device enrollment).

How to remove the Securly SSL certificate (Android: Settings > Security > User Credentials)

On Android, the SERP specifically points to uninstalling the Securly SSL certificate from the system certificate storage.

  1. Open Settings on your Android phone.
  2. Go to Security.
  3. Tap User Credentials.
  4. Look through the list for the Securly entry.
  5. Choose uninstall/remove for that Securly certificate.

That’s the core “how to delete securly” route for the SSL cert. If you remove the cert but the device still behaves like filtering is on, then you likely have classroom/extension controls or an MDM setup that won’t be fixed by removing a certificate alone.

How to unenroll/remove Securly MDM on a Mac (Remove/Unenroll from the three-dot menu)

If your Mac is enrolled in Securly through MDM, you usually don’t “delete” it like an app. You unenroll it using the management screen your school/admin controls.

The SERP points to this flow:

  1. Find the device group table in the admin/management area where devices are listed.
  2. Select one or more devices.
  3. Use the three-dot menu in the top right of that device group table.
  4. Choose Remove (Unenroll).

If you’re a student, you probably won’t have access to that console. In that case, the value of this section is that it shows what you should ask the school/admin to do for your Mac.

How to off-board Securly from school devices (Google Admin Console: Devices > Trash can > Delete)

For school-managed devices, the SERP describes offboarding in the Google Admin Console, including removing the MSI agent for Windows and Mac.

Use this path:

  1. Open Google Admin Console.
  2. Go to Devices.
  3. Find the device entry you want to remove.
  4. Click the Trash can.
  5. Click Delete to remove the device from the console, including removing the MSI agent for Windows and Mac.

If you’re coordinating with the school, this is the clean “admin route” to ask about. It’s also the route that tends to matter when user-level steps don’t fully work.

Why you may not be able to remove Securly on a school Chromebook (patched/bocked removal attempts)

The SERP results describe attempts to deal with Securly on school Chromebooks by disabling/removing things on the Chrome/browser side. But those methods can be patched or blocked by the school.

That’s usually why student-side browser attempts “keep coming back” or don’t change anything:

  • The school can push controls back via device policies.
  • Extension removal can be blocked.
  • Some methods may stop working because they’ve been patched.

What to do instead

Don’t keep trying browser hacks. Use the admin/offboarding approach:

  • Ask whether the Chromebook is still managed in the school’s console.
  • Ask the school to offboard the device using the admin flow (the SERP’s path is Google Admin Console Devices and then Trash can > Delete for removal).
  • If they confirm Securly is still attached through classroom controls or management policies, you’ll need that side removed by an admin.

This also explains why your “how to get rid of Securly” searches can feel inconsistent. The real fix is often outside the student/device settings.

How to turn off Securly Classroom as a student (what the SERP suggests you can try)

How to turn off Securly Classroom as a student (what the SERP suggests you can try)

The SERP suggests student attempts on the Classroom side (the control side), like disabling things from the device/browser.

The catch is that on school-managed Chromebooks, those attempts may be blocked or patched. So, the practical way to use this section is:

  • Try the student-side steps if you can access them.
  • If you don’t see results, stop and switch to admin/offboarding.
  • Don’t keep retrying bypass-style steps, because schools can reapply the controls.

If you want the best next step, use the sections above based on what you’re dealing with:

  • Android certificate removal
  • Mac MDM unenrollment
  • Google Admin Console offboarding

How to remove Securly certificate using Certificate Manager (what to look for)

If you’re trying to remove the certificate itself (not the full classroom/MDM setup), the SERP mentions checking Certificate Manager.

Here’s the simple approach:

  1. Open Certificate Manager (or the certificate storage page your device uses).
  2. Look for entries related to Securly.
  3. If you find a Securly SSL certificate entry, remove/uninstall it.

Why this matters: on some devices you may reach the certificate list in a different place than Settings > Security > User Credentials, but the goal stays the same. Find the Securly certificate entry and remove it.

If removing the cert doesn’t stop the blocking/filtering, that’s usually a sign the blocking is coming from something else too, like device management or classroom controls.

Why is securly blocking everything? (common causes to check before removing)

When people ask “why is Securly blocking everything,” it usually comes down to one of these:

  • The SSL certificate is still installed
  • If the certificate is active, the device may treat traffic as being inspected/filtered.
  • On Android, this is why the SERP points to removing the cert via Settings > Security > User Credentials.
  • Classroom controls are still active
  • Changing the certificate won’t help if classroom rules or related controls keep filtering.
  • Your device is still enrolled/managed by MDM
  • For Mac, the SERP points to MDM unenrollment via Remove (Unenroll) from the three-dot menu in the device group table.
  • For Windows/Mac, it points to removing the MSI agent by offboarding from Google Admin Console > Devices.

So before assuming “it failed,” confirm which category you’re dealing with: certificate versus device management.

Is securly classroom legal? (what to consider before bypassing)

The SERP includes the question “is Securly classroom legal?”, which usually means you’re worried about consent and school policy.

What to consider:

  • If it’s on a school-managed device, the school may be allowed to use filtering/management tools under district/admin policies.
  • If you’re thinking about bypassing controls, the SERP says many Chromebook methods are patched/blocked, so bypass attempts can fail and may cause bigger problems.
  • If you’re concerned, your best option is asking the school/admin what exact controls are being used and whether offboarding is available for your situation.

Bottom line: if you’re wondering whether it’s “legal or not,” that’s something to discuss with the school/admin. If you just want it removed, focus on the admin/offboarding steps above.

---

When to ask the school/admin instead of trying to bypass

Ask the school/admin for help when:

  • You’re on a school Chromebook and student-side disabling doesn’t work (methods can be patched/blocked).
  • The filtering seems tied to MDM (device management) rather than just a removable certificate.
  • You don’t have access to what’s needed to remove it yourself (like the Google Admin Console or the management tools where unenrollment happens).

If you want something concrete to request, you can point them to the exact admin workflows shown in the SERP:

  • For Windows/Mac offboarding: Google Admin Console > Devices > Trash can > Delete (to remove the MSI agent).
  • For Mac unenrollment: Remove (Unenroll) from the device group table via the three-dot menu.
  • For Chromebook problems: ask them to confirm whether your Chromebook is still managed and offboard it from their console.

Tell them you want the right component removed (certificate vs classroom controls vs MDM), not just “Securly” in general.
