How to Completely Uninstall Microsoft Office on Mac

When you're ready to uninstall Microsoft Office from your Mac, there are a few steps you can follow to ensure that it's completely removed from your system. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do just that.

First, open the 'Microsoft Office' application and click on the 'Help' menu. From there, select 'About Microsoft Office' and then click on the 'Uninstall' button. Follow the prompts to uninstall the application.

Next, go to your Mac's 'Applications' folder and locate the 'Microsoft Office' icon. Right-click (or control-click) on the icon and select 'Move to Trash'. Then, empty the trash by going to the 'Finder' menu and selecting 'Empty Trash'.

If you're using a Microsoft Office subscription, you won't be able to uninstall it from your Mac. However, you can still remove it from your system by following these steps.

First, go to your Mac's 'Control Panel' and click on the 'Programs' icon. From there, select 'Add/Remove Programs' (or 'Uninstall a program' in newer versions of Windows). Locate the entry for Microsoft Office and click the 'Change' button next to it.

In the 'Microsoft Office Installation Options' window, select the option to uninstall the application. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.

Finally, restart your Mac to ensure that all changes take effect.

It's also important to note that if you're using Outlook 2010 or older, you'll need to follow a slightly different set of steps to uninstall it. To do this, go to the 'Control Panel' and click on the 'Programs' icon. From there, select 'Add/Remove Programs' (or 'Uninstall a program' in newer versions of Windows). Locate the entry for Outlook 2010 or older and click the 'Change' button next to it.

In the 'Microsoft Office Installation Options' window, select the option to uninstall the application. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.

By following these steps, you should be able to completely uninstall Microsoft Office from your Mac.
