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