    Haven't had the opportunity to work on that version, but after some research looks to be roughly the same way. But instead of using folder 12.0 or 14.0 I'd imagine it may be 16.0 or something. Cannot verify that information though.

Microsoft Office has been one of the most popular suites of applications on the Mac for three decades. It’s also one of the most unpopular – Mac users really do have a love/hate relationship with it. Lots of people install it, use it, then get so annoyed with it they uninstall it. However, uninstalling Office isn’t as easy as it should be, so here’s a step-by-step guide to show you how to uninstall every part of Microsoft Office.

Microsoft Office License Removal Tool Mac

What is Microsoft Office?

Office is a suite of tools that comprises: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, and OneDrive. To use such apps, you can either subscribe to Office 365 on Microsoft's website and download the apps from there or download the individual apps from the Mac App Store and buy a subscription as an in-app purchase.

Subscriptions are annual and there are several different tiers, each of which provides a different level of service with regard to the number of devices you can install Office apps on.

Why is it so difficult to uninstall Office?

Good question! Fieldrunners free online game. On Windows PCs, Microsoft offers an uninstall utility that allows you to remove Office or any Office app with a few clicks. However, on a Mac, you have to do it the manual way. That means not just removing the app binaries themselves, but hunting down all the other ‘junk’ files that Microsoft Office installs on your Mac.

Backup your data

Once you’ve uninstalled Office, you will obviously not be able to open any files you have that are in Microsoft formats like .doc, .xls, or .ppt in their parent applications. So, before you uninstall Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, make sure that you have another way of opening those files if you need them.

That could be another application that supports those file formats or another computer that has Office installed on it. If that’s not possible, you should open each file in Office and export it in a format that can be read in other applications, such as .rtf for Word documents. Don’t uninstall anything until you have made sure you will still be able to read and edit your files.

When you uninstall Outlook on your Mac, you will also remove all of its data, including email messages and attachments. If you use an IMAP server or an account like iCloud or Gmail, there’s nothing to worry about, your messages and attachments will still be on the server. However, if you have downloaded messages and attachments and deleted them from the mail server, or if you use a POP3 mail server, you should backup up all your messages and attachments before you uninstall Outlook. You can do this by exporting messages from Outlook in mbox format. You should also consider making a copy of the Containers folder described below, just in case.

Before you go ahead and attempt the manual uninstallation described below, there is another, much easier way. CleanMyMac X allows you to uninstall Office apps, or any other app, with just a couple of clicks, using its uninstaller tool. Here’s how it works:

  1. Download and launch CleanMyMac X — get a free version here
  2. Choose the Uninstaller tool from the sidebar.
  3. In the window on the right, check the box next to the Office apps (Word, Excel, etc) you want to uninstall.
  4. Press Uninstall

CleanMyMac X now removes not just the apps themselves, but all the associated junk files, saving you a huge amount of time and effort.

You can now check whether there are any leftover files.

  1. Go to the Uninstaller tool in CleanMyMac X.
  2. Click on Leftovers.
  3. If there are any files listed, check the box next to them and press Uninstall.

How to uninstall Office 365 on Mac

To uninstall Office 365, you need to uninstall each app and depending on which version of Office you are using, the process is slightly different.

Uninstall Office 2011

  1. Navigate to your Applications folder.
  2. Select Microsoft Excel
  3. Hold down the Command key and select Outlook, Powerpoint, and Word.
  4. Drag them all to the Trash and empty it.

This will uninstall Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook from your Mac.

Uninstall Office 365 2016

Uninstalling Office 2016 is more complicated than uninstalling the 2011 version, because you need to locate files in several different folders and move them to the Trash.

  1. Go to your Applications folder and select Microsoft Excel.
  2. Hold down the Command key and click on the following apps: OneNote; Outlook; PowerPoint; Word; One Drive.
  3. With all those apps selected, drag them to the Trash or Control-click on one of the apps and choose Move to Trash from the menu.
  4. In the Finder, click on the Go menu and choose Go to Folder, or press Command+Shift+G.
  5. In the box that opens, type: ~/Library and press Go.
  6. Locate the Containers folder and open it.
  7. Locate each of the folders listed below and drag them to the Trash (some of them may not be present)
    com.microsoft.errorreporting
    com.microsoft.Excel
    com.microsoft.netlib.shipassertprocess
    com.microsoft.Office365ServiceV2
    com.microsoft.Outlook
    com.microsoft.Powerpoint
    com.microsoft.RMS-XPCService
    com.microsoft.Word
    com.microsoft.onenote.mac
  8. Click the back arrow in the Finder window to go back to ~/Library and open the Group Containers folder.
  9. Locate the folders below and move them to the Trash (again, some may not be present).
    UBF8T346G9.ms
    UBF8T346G9.Office
    UBF8T346G9.OfficeOsfWebHost
  10. Empty the Trash
  11. If any Office icons are in the Dock, right-click on them and choose Options>Remove from Dock.
  12. Restart your Mac

You have now uninstalled Office 2016 from your Mac.
