For Mac, see Uninstall Office for Mac. Tip: Uninstalling Office only removes the Office applications from your computer, it doesn't remove any files, documents, or workbooks you created using the apps. UNINSTALL OFFICE FOR YOUR INSTALLATION TYPE The steps to uninstall Office depend on the type of installation you have. The most common installation types are Click-to-Run and Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI). The other type is an Office installation from the Microsoft Store app. Select the Click-to-Run or MSI or Microsoft Store tab below and follow those uninstall steps for your installation type. Not sure which type of install you have? EXPAND THIS SECTION IF YOU'RE NOT SURE WHICH INSTALLATION TYPE YOU HAVE Open an Office app to check your installation type Note: If you can't open an app to check your installation type, try the more common Click-to-Run or MSI uninstall steps first. 1. Create or open an existing file and select File > Account (or it might say Office Account). 2. Under Product information, find the About button and check for the following: Click-to-Run Click-to-Run installations have a Version and Build number, and include the phrase Click-to-Run. Follow the Click-to-Run or MSI steps below. MSI An MSI installation doesn't have a Version or Build number. Follow the Click-to-Run or MSI steps below. Microsoft Store Microsoft Store installations have a Version and Build number, and include the phrase Microsoft Store. If you have this installation type, select the Microsoft Store tab. Click-to-Run or MSIMicrosoft Store If you have a Click-to-Run or an MSI installation, uninstall Office using the Control Panel or download the uninstall support tool. OPTION 1 - UNINSTALL OFFICE FROM THE CONTROL PANEL 1. Open the Control Panel. Tip: If you installed the Office 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 Office suite. The only way to uninstall an individual app is if you purchased it as a stand-alone app. How you open the Control Panel depends on your version of Windows. Windows 10 a. In the search box on the task bar, type control panel, then select Control Panel. b. Select Programs > Programs and Features, then right-click your Microsoft Office product, and choose Uninstall. Windows 8.1 or 8 a. Right-click the Start button (lower-left corner), and choose Control Panel. b. Select Programs and Features, then right-click your Office product, and choose Uninstall. Windows 7 a. Click Start > Control Panel. b. Click Programs > Programs and Features. c. Right-click the Office application you want to remove, and then click Uninstall. 2. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstall. Note: If Office 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. 3. To reinstall Office select the version you want to reinstall and follow those steps. Microsoft 365 | Office 2021 | Office 2019 | Office 2016 | Office 2013 | Office 2010 | Office 2007 OPTION 2 - COMPLETELY UNINSTALL OFFICE WITH THE UNINSTALL SUPPORT TOOL 1. Select the button below to download the Office uninstall support tool. Download 2. Follow the steps to open the download according to your browser, and when you're prompted in the Application Install window, select Install, and then I agree for the Microsoft Services Agreement. Tip: The tool may take a few minutes to download and install. After completing the installation, the Uninstall Office products window will open. Edge or Chrome * In the lower-lower left corner right-click SetupProd_OffScrub.exe > Open. Edge (older) * At the bottom of the browser window, select Run to launch the SetupProd_OffScrub.exe. Firefox * In the pop-up window, select Save File and then from the upper-right browser window, select the downloads arrow > SetupProd_OffScrub.exe. 3. From the Uninstall Office products window, select the version of Office you want to uninstall, and then select Next. 4. Follow the prompts on the remaining screens and when prompted, restart your computer. After you restart your computer, the uninstall tool automatically re-opens to complete the final step of the uninstall process. Follow the remaining prompts. 5. If you want to reinstall Office, select the steps for the version you want and follow those steps. Close the uninstall tool. Microsoft 365 | Office 2021| Office 2019 | Office 2016 | Office 2013 | Office 2010 | Office 2007 Tip: If the Office uninstall tool doesn't completely uninstall Office from your PC, you can try to manually uninstall Office. UNINSTALL OFFICE FROM SETTINGS IN WINDOWS 10 1. Select Start > Settings > Apps. 2. Under Apps & Features select the version of Office you want to uninstall. Note: If you installed an Office suite such as Office Home and Student or you have an Office subscription, search for the suite name. If you bought an individual Office application, such as Word or Visio, search for the application name. 3. Select Uninstall. Tip: If you can't uninstall your Microsoft Store installation using Settings in Windows 10, then try to uninstall Office manually using PowerShell following the steps below. UNINSTALL OFFICE MANUALLY USING POWERSHELL Remove Office 1. Right-click Start and select Windows PowerShell (Admin). 2. In the Windows PowerShell window, type the following: Get-AppxPackage -name “Microsoft.Office.Desktop” | Remove-AppxPackage 3. Press Enter. This takes a few minutes. Once it's done, a new command prompt appears. Verify Office was removed 1. In the Windows PowerShell window, type the following: Get-AppxPackage -name “Microsoft.Office.Desktop” 2. Press Enter. If only a command prompt appears and no additional information, it means you successfully removed Office and you can close the Windows PowerShell window. REINSTALL OFFICE To reinstall Office see Install or reinstall Office on a PC. Note: If you're not sure what operating system you have, see Which Windows operating system am I running? NEED MORE HELP?
