How can you remove MS Teams for personal use of a Windows 11 Device and ensure it is completely removed even when a new user signs in on the same device

Question

Hi,

We are migrating our devices to Windows 11 and I am currently working on creating a base image to be created before deploying the devices out to the Users. We have installed the "New Teams" for work or school however, I am facing an issue where the MS Teams (Personal) is already installed and you can easily remove this (per user) but I am wondering if this can be removed unanimously across the whole machine. Ideally, it being removed completely even after a new user logs in to the machine for the first time.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks

Hello,

According to your discription, you issue is related to remove teams completedly.

You need to uninstall two items for all users on a machine to fully uninstall Teams, so make sure you follow all the steps.

1. Quit Teams by right-clicking the Teams icon in the taskbar and choosing Close window.
2. In Windows, click on the Start button > Settings > Apps. Under Apps & features, search "teams".
3. Highlight Microsoft Teams, then select Uninstall.

A box will appear, then again select Uninstall to confirm. A new box will appear, asking Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? Select Yes.

4. Now select Teams Machine-Wide Installer, click Uninstall. Then follow the same process.

Note: To uninstall Teams you need to uninstall both Microsoft Teams and Teams Machine-Wide Installer.

Best regards,

Molly
