How can I uninstall Office 2007 when it doesn't show up in Apps & Features?

Hi Jim

Open the old Control Panel (click your Start Button, then just type control and press Enter)

At the top right of Control Panel, set View to icons

Choose Programs and Features

Scroll down to find Microsoft Office, does the 2007 version of Office appear in that list?

The first thing to try is doing an Office Repair of 365. This should reset the Windows defaults to 365 (although the installation should have done that).

If you still can't see 2007, you will have to take a shotgun approach. Use method 2 in the following tip. This will wipe everything, including your 365 installation, then you will have to re-install.

Note, this will delete all of your customizations AND your Outlook emails, so back up customization files like NORMAL.DOTM and PERSONAL.XLSM and your Outlook PST file.

Or you can use Method 3 to selectively uninstall just 2007 elements.

Uninstall Office 2016 / 365 – 2007

.

Method 1: Uninstall from Control Panel (or Settings dialog)

Method 2: Completely uninstall Office with the uninstall support tool (SetupProd_OffScrub.exe)

Method 3: Remove manually (Registry Hack)

.

The Method 1, “Normal uninstall”, is designed with the assumption that you will be re-installing Office. It does NOT delete everything. It leaves configuration files like NORMAL.DOTM and other templates etc. It also leaves configuration Registry entries. Normally these “carry-overs” are safe. But if method 1 didn’t fix your problem, they may be the cause.

.

Method 2 (and 3) are intended to completely wipe Office from your computer

.

Note:Method 1 includes links to Office version specific re-install instructions

.

Method 2

So if Method 1 doesn’t fix your problem, try Method 2. Method 2 does a more thorough job that the “normal” uninstall (aka Method 1). It deletes “everything” associated with Office  except your personal (document, spreadsheet etc) files created using Office

NOTE:BEFOREyou start the uninstall,

If you have an Office 365 bundle or Office 2016 / 2019, make sure you can access the MyAccount page so you can reinstall.

.

If you have Office 2013/2016 make sure you have your 25 character product key.

.

If you have 2010 or earlier, you need the full 25 character Product Key to activate Office. If need be, you can “extract” the key from Windows.

Method 3: Manually uninstall Office

IMPORTANT: Before you start, you need to know removing Office manually is a long, complex process and might require that you reinstall the operating system if certain steps are done incorrectly.
