I tried to set up the Salesforce CLI in VSC last night, and I'm pretty green at this, so I'm sure I've made some mistakes.

I put that aside, but today I find that I can't deploy or even get past the popup "Listing Salesforce CLI connections." It pops up any time I try to connect with another org. How do I disconnect from the CLI so that I can deploy code to my clients?

Thanks,

Baird

IC picks up the Salesforce CLI from the system execution path (i.e., $PATH/`%PATH%), so you’d need to remove it from that. You can do that by uninstalling the Salesforce CLI or by just removing it explicitly from the system execution path.

However, it sounds like perhaps the CLI may be installed incorrectly. If/when you want to try the CLI again, I’d recommend completely uninstalling the Salesforce CLI and installing it again, ideally using the simplest installation method, typically the packaged installer for your OS or npm.
