Can't remove locked VPN Connections installed by HotSpot Shield

How can I remove locked VPN connections under Network? (OS 10.9.5)


HotSpot Shield installed three VPN connections under Network settings. I no longer subscribe to the service and have removed the application, but I'm unable to remove the network connections.


Three VPN connections were created:

"US Server" utahmaps.us

"GB Server" jacketmagazine.us

"JP Server" brainphotos.us

However, all these connections have the padlocked icon beside them, and I don't have the permissions to delete them.

I'm including a screen capture of one of the settings, for reference.

I can set them to inactive, but would like to remove them altogether.

Can anyone offer any assistance?

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

I have been looking for this answer also... I found it yesterday. if you go to profiles in system preferences, you will be able to delete those completely.
