Uninstall Cisco Proximity and optional data cleanup

Uninstall command
brew uninstall --cask cisco-proximity

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Uninstalling also removes

Background services (launchctl)
com.cisco.proximity

Deep clean (optional)

Uninstall command
brew uninstall --zap --cask cisco-proximity

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left. Back up any data you need first. To keep settings and caches, leave out --zap.
