Windows 10: Cannot uninstall Office

I attempted to uninstall Office 2016. I went to the uninstall panel, selected the correct program and clicked on uninstall but nothing happened. After a couple more tries with no luck I went to Program Files & Program x86 and deleted everything thinking that would do it. Everything deleted except for one item, a file "Microsoft OneDrive for Business Extensions" that even File Assassin can't eliminate. Any assistance with this would be appreciated.

Uninstalled Office

Hello Jimmy, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

I suggest the following steps which were provided by Microsoft Support:

Go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs) and find the Microsoft Office installation. Click Change (or Repair) and run the repair on the software. If there is no Microsoft Office program listed there then you should reinstall the
Office product from the original install media

Hope this helps!

Thank you and good luck,

Regards- .

 

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused

 

End of extended support for Office 2007 on October 10, 2017 Office

Assuming you have an older Office version such as my MSOffice 2007 [because current Office versions do not seem to work in the same way]:-

Step 1 - Run this Powershell PS1 file to create a list on your Desktop
Code:

It is based on code posted by 1981DMC in getting list of installed Office packages - SpiceWorks
I have not tested this with any Desktop paths containing special characters such as ampersands [&].

Step 2 - Open the list in Excel, freeze the top row, add AutoFilter to the top row so you can filter by blanks in the HelpLink column and delete those rows [those rows are not updates]. Save the file as an Excel file.

Step 3 - What you are left with are Office updates. There are a few repetitions in the list, because Windows records some of them twice, so use AutoFilter to sort them into DisplayName alphabetical order so you can spot and delete many of the repetitions. Control panel, Programs & features, View installed updates also repeats some entries.

Step 4 - Use normal Excel text manipulation functions to extract KB numbers into a column of their own. The HelpLink column is probably the easiest one to work with.

Step 5 - You could then be cautious and check against the list in the Office 'group' of Control panel, Programs & features, View installed updates to check for additional entries to add to OfficeUpdatesList.xlsx. I have just done so and the list produced in Step 1 matched completely [once you decide that repetitions in either list do not matter].

I have no idea if this procedure applies to later versions of MSOffice. I only have MSOffice 2007.


All the best,
