    To completely uninstall Microsoft Office 365 from your laptop, you can follow these steps:

    1. Use the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant: This tool can help you remove Office completely from your device. You can download and run it from the Microsoft website.
    2. Uninstall from Settings:
      • For Windows 10 or later, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
      • Find Microsoft Office 365 in the list, select it, and click on Uninstall.
    3. Follow the Uninstall Instructions: If you encounter any issues during the uninstallation, you can refer to the guidance provided in the Microsoft support documentation for uninstalling Office from a PC.
    4. Check for Remaining Files: After uninstalling, check your system for any remaining Office files or folders and remove them manually if necessary.
    5. Restart Your Computer: Finally, restart your laptop to ensure all changes take effect.

    If you run into specific errors, such as the "Something went wrong 30016-4" error, you may need to address those issues separately by ensuring that your %temp% drive is correctly mapped.

    Uninstall Microsoft 365 for your installation type

    The steps to uninstall Microsoft 365 depend on the type of installation you have. The most common installation types are Click-to-Run and Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI). The other type is an Microsoft 365 installation from the Microsoft Store app.

    Select the Click-to-Run or MSI or Microsoft Store tab below and follow those uninstall steps for your installation type.

    If you have a Click-to-Run or an MSI installation, uninstall Microsoft 365 using the Control Panel or download the uninstall support tool.

    Uninstall Microsoft 365 or Office with the uninstall troubleshooter

    Use the uninstall troubleshooter to uninstall Microsoft 365, Office 2021, Office 2019, or Office 2016 from your Windows PC.

    Select the button below to start the uninstall troubleshooter.

    Uninstall

    Click Open if you get a pop-up window indicating This site is trying to open Get Help.

    Follow the prompts on the remaining screens and when prompted, restart your computer.

    Select the steps for the version of Office you want to install or reinstall.

    Microsoft 365 | Office 2024 | Office 2021 | Office 2019 | Office 2016

    Important: 

    The uninstall troubleshooter currently can't uninstall Office 2024.

    Run the troubleshooter on the same Windows PC with the Microsoft 365 or Office product you want to uninstall.

    You need to be on Windows 10 or higher to run the troubleshooter.

    Tip: If the Microsoft 365 uninstall troubleshooter doesn't completely uninstall Microsoft 365 or Office from your PC, you can try to manually uninstall Office.

    Uninstall Microsoft 365 or Office from the Control Panel

    Press the  Windows logo key (or select the search bar on the taskbar) and type control panel. Select Control Panel from the list of results.

    Select Programs > Programs and features. Select your Microsoft 365 product and choose Uninstall.

    Tip: If you installed the Microsoft 365 apps as part of a suite, such as Office Home and Student or Microsoft 365, search for the suite name. For stand-alone apps search by the app name, such as Project or Visio. In most cases you can't uninstall an individual app if it's included in your Microsoft 365 suite. The only way to uninstall an individual app is if you purchased it as a stand-alone app.

    1. Follow the prompts to complete the uninstall. Note: If Microsoft 365 isn't listed in the Control Panel you could have a Microsoft Store installation type. Select the Microsoft Store tab above and follow those uninstall steps instead.
    2. To reinstall Microsoft 365 see Install or reinstall Office on a PC.
