    OK thanks. That I can do.

    When I search for Office & 365 I get 'No results"

    When I search for Outlook I get something in "Narrator app". when I click on that it takes me to Narrator. dont want unstall that even though I never use it.

    The orange office icon is the office dashboard - open settings - then apps - type office in the search field. select office and uninstall. Repeat with Outlook. both of these are fairly small apps - their size is a clue they are not part of the office suite.  I would also search for Microsoft 365 - just in case a subscription version is installed.

    You have to be on the outlook.com web page to see Install Outlook.

    This is what I see when the Answers forum is the current tab.
