After changing to the New Outlook, my office apps still try to use old outlook application when I try to share a document (File - Share - Email). It opens old outlook but wont send. It just sets in Outbox. I assume some clean up is necessary to remove remanence of old Outlook?

    Today, for the first time, old Outlook just popped up reminders from last November. This happened twice in ten minutes. I need a solution to remove old Outlook.

    This has been a really frustrating experience. I followed your instructions, and it keeps asking whether I want to repair it or not. Once I cancelled it, it was going nowhere, so I finally clicked to repair, and it downloaded the program again. then nothing happens. I followed the steps again, and it asks to repair again. I tried other different things, but this is really frustrating. In the meantime, some of the meeting invites go to Classic Outlook, not New Outlook....

    What has worked for me (I think), I opened old outlook, and closed new outlook. Ran task manager right clicked>open file location and deleted from there.

    So far I cannot see old outlook anywhere in my apps and new outlook seems to be okay.

    Does this method also work if you want to remove the new outlook and keep the classical instead ?
