Uninstall Office

Option 1 - Uninstall Microsoft 365 from the Control Panel

  1. Press the  Windows logo key (or select the search bar on the taskbar) and type control panel. Select Control Panel from the list of results.

  2. Select Programs > Programs and features. Select your Microsoft 365 product and choose Uninstall.

  3. Tip: If you installed the Microsoft 365 apps as part of a suite, such as Office Home and Student or Microsoft 365, search for the suite name. For stand-alone apps search by the app name, such as Project or Visio.

    In most cases you can't uninstall an individual app if it's included in your Microsoft 365 suite. The only way to uninstall an individual app is if you purchased it as a stand-alone app.

  4. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstall.

    Note: If Microsoft 365 isn't listed in the Control Panel you could have a Microsoft Store installation type. Select the Microsoft Store tab above and follow those uninstall steps instead.
