Teams crashes every time I try to open it.

I figured that re-installing was the best first thing to try. But I can't seem to get it uninstalled.

I can uninstall the Teams machine program. but it leaves behind the Teams app, which I cannot uninstall.

When I try, I get the following messages in the event log:
