How to remove an Excel Add-In in 365?

Question

I am trying to find how to remove an Excel Add-in that is installed from the Add-ins menu or the MS AppSource site.

Here I am using ChatGPT for Excel as an example. I just click Add and it is installed and working. However how to I remove it.

The add-in does not show up in any of the add-in screens or in Add or remove programs or any other place I could find.

I did find that with the recent update for Excel 365, I can right click on the Add-in in the ribbon and select Remove Add-in.

However, such an option does not exist in even slightly old 365 builds. Most of my colleagues do not have the same version I do and cannot find a way to remove this or other add-ins they tried.

How can I find an remove any of the newer style Add-ins from any version of 365?

Answer 1

Is the Mac in a corporate/organization environment? If so, installing & removing add-ins may be prohibited by the IT admins.

Another straw to grab at: does the user account signed in on the Mac have admin privileges?

Answer 2

Add-ins>More add-ins>My add-ins>Click 3 dots>Remove.

Answer 3

This does work for me in the newer version. However, when I tried it on a system with an older Excel, I could see My add-ins, and the the add-in, but there was no 3 dots to press and Remove.

For older version, this is still Excel 365, but on the slow stable install path or whatever it is called.

Unfortunately that method also does not work for the other versions. There is also no inactivate options and no remove option. I could not find any of these add-ins in the advanced add-in or com add-in or any of the other menus. Next time I have a chance I will grab the exact version and build from the older version and post it here.
