I'm not using "the new Outlook", I'm staying with the "classic Outlook". Since I don't use it, I have to delete the app. To my surprise, it re-installs itself after a period of time. It's super annoying since I have to keep deleting it How do I stop this from happening?

I just do not like Outlook, I was and still am perfectly happy with the old Mail Calendar app, and now I see MS are forcing "new" Outlook on us by the end of 2024, I must have uninstalled Outlook a hundred times, but it just keeps re-installing itself without asking and I'm getting really annoyed by that, Microsoft just don't listen to their users.
I did...
That folder doesn't get deleted when you uninstall the app. Are you saying I need to remove it manually?
You probably didn't uninstall Outlook (new) from step 2.
It says: "4. Create a new folder..." but that folder is already there.
As of 22H2 not many of these fixes seem to work anymore. open and close the mail app fully 3 times and windows update automatically detects that and installs Outlook. Absolutely horrendous piece of malware. It's literally impossible to keep uninstalled, that's why I just automated it's removal.
