The following steps describe how to uninstall Office products on a PC (laptop, desktop, or 2-in-1). For Mac, see Uninstall Office for Mac.

Tip: Uninstalling Office only removes the Office applications from your computer, it doesn't remove any files, documents, or workbooks you created using the apps.

Uninstall Office for your installation type

The steps to uninstall Office 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 Office installation from the Microsoft Store app.

If you have a Click-to-Run or an MSI installation, uninstall Office using the Control Panel or download the uninstall support tool. If you can't uninstall Office using either of those options, try uninstalling Office manually.

Option 1 - Uninstall Office from the Control Panel

Open the Control Panel.

Tip: If you installed the Office apps as part of a suite, such as Office Home and Student or Office 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 Office suite. The only way to uninstall an individual app is if you purchased it as a stand-alone app.

How you open the Control Panel depends on your version of Windows.
Windows 10
1. In the search box on the task bar, type control panel, then select Control Panel.
2. Select Programs > Programs and Features, then right-click your Microsoft Office product, and choose Uninstall.
Windows 8.1 or 8
1. Right-click the Start button (lower-left corner), and choose Control Panel.
2. Select Programs and Features, then right-click your Office product, and choose Uninstall.
Windows 7
1. Click Start > Control Panel.
2. Click Programs > Programs and Features.
3. Right-click the Office application you want to remove, and then click Uninstall.
Follow the prompts to complete the uninstall.

Note: If Office 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.
To reinstall Office select the version you want to reinstall and follow those steps.
