    Let us try uninstalling leftovers files using PowerShell, please follow the below steps:

    1. Right-click Start The Windows 10 Start icon and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin).
    2. In the Windows PowerShell window, type the following:

    Get-AppxPackage -name “Microsoft.Office.Desktop” | Remove-AppxPackage

    1. Press Enter.

    This takes a few minutes. Once it's done, a new command prompt appears.

    Once done, please restart the system and verify if the icons are still there or not.

    On this screenshot, I see one option under "More" - named as "App Settings" - that's not normally available when you install Outlook, can you try clicking on that and see what does it load?

    New computers come with a trial version of Office.

    Have you uninstalled the trial version?
