Все способы:
- Способ 1: «Параметры»
- Способ 2: «Панель управления»
- Очистка реестра
- Ручное удаление остаточных файлов
- Способ 3: Утилита Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant
- Способ 4: Специализированный софт
- Вопросы и ответы: 1
Способ 1: «Параметры»
Office 365 – это комплект офисных приложений от компании Microsoft, который доступен в рамках платной подписки на использование продуктов компании. Она включает в себя использование офисных программ сразу на нескольких устройствах, выделенный объем в фирменном облачном хранилище OneDrive и дополнительные возможности Skype, позволяющие с этой подпиской бесплатно звонить на стационарные телефоны. Есть несколько способов полностью удалить программное обеспечение, и один из наиболее простых заключается в использовании штатных «Параметров»:
- Нажмите на кнопку «Пуск» и из появившегося меню выберите «Параметры».
- Переключитесь на вкладку «Приложения» на панели слева, затем в центральной части окна кликните по строке «Установленные приложения».
- В списке инсталлированного софта отыщите «Office 365», кликните по трем горизонтальным точкам справа и из контекстного меню выберите удаление.
Запустится пошаговый мастер деинсталляции. Выполняйте процедуру в соответствии с инструкцией, в результате чего программный пакет будет удален из системы. Если вы удаляете Офис для переустановки по причине того, что сейчас он нестабильно работает, следует учитывать, что после такой деинсталляции от приложения могут оставаться следы, поэтому рекомендуем перейти к разделам «Очистка реестра» и «Ручное удаление остаточных файлов», чтобы полностью стереть все данные, связанные с этим ПО.
Способ 2: «Панель управления»
Также можно воспользоваться классической «Панелью управления», которая в ранних выпусках операционной системы была основным средством управления. В Windows 11 она все еще присутствует и удаляет приложения точно так же, как и современный аналог — «Параметры».
- Нажмите на «Пуск» и в строке системного поиска начните набирать «панель управления» – ниже появится нужный результат, по которому и кликните.
- Если в строке «Просмотр» у вас установлен режим «значки», перейдите в «Программы и компоненты». Если «категория» — в «Удаление программы».
- Появится список всех установленных программ – найдите «Office 365», выделите строку и выберите кнопку «Удалить» вверху.
Так же, как и в предыдущем способе, будет запущен пошаговый мастер удаления, но для полной очистки лучше перейти к следующим разделам и удалить все связанные с ПО данные из системного реестра и памяти системы.
Очистка реестра
Даже после удаления программного пакета с помощью пошагового мастера высока вероятность, что остаточные файлы и параметры в реестре остались. Предлагаем руководство, как почистить следы, связанные с программой, вручную удалив соответствующие параметры из системного реестра.
Чистить реестр нужно после того, как программа была удалена с помощью стандартных средств, поскольку, если сделать это предварительно, может возникнуть сбой при попытке запустить пошаговый мастер деинсталляции.
- Нажмите на клавиши «Win + R», затем в диалоговом окне «Выполнить» введите команду
regeditи нажмите на кнопку «ОК», чтобы вызвать «Редактор реестра». - В адресную строку сверху вставьте такой путь —
Компьютер\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office. Также можно перейти к соответствующей ветке через панель слева. В подразделе «Office» изучите содержимое. Если там есть папки с цифровыми обозначениями («16.0», «15.0» или «14.0»), то следует их удалить. Для этого кликните по одной из них правой кнопкой мыши и выберите пункт «Удалить». - И подтвердите действие в новом окне.
Если таких каталогов несколько, проделайте то же самое с каждым из них, затем перезагрузите компьютер.
Ручное удаление остаточных файлов
Также следует вручную стереть содержимое одной из папок каталога «AppData», где хранятся пользовательские данные, связанные с программным пакетом Office 365. Поскольку раздел скрыт, сначала нужно включить отображение скрытых элементов:
- Запустите «Проводник», затем перейдите в «Локальный диск (C:)».
- Кликните по кнопке «Просмотреть», расположенной на верхней панели, затем наведите курсор на пункт «Показать» и выберите «Скрытые элементы».
- Затем откройте скрытую папку «ProgramData» — если в ней есть каталог, связанный с Office 365, удалите его.
- Далее перейдите по пути
C:\Users\Имя_пользователя\AppData\Roamingи также удалите папку, которая связана с программным пакетом. - Еще стоит проверить, есть ли внутри каталога «Microsoft», который располагается по адресу
C:\Users\Имя_пользователя\AppData\Local, папки, оставшиеся после удаленной программы.
Так как после удаления Office 365 стандартными способами остаточные файлы продолжают храниться в скрытых директориях на системном диске, ручное удаление этих данных поможет в будущем избежать конфликтов при попытке установить другие аналогичные продукты или версии офисного пакета компании.
Способ 3: Утилита Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant
На официальном сайте Майкрософт представлена официальная утилита для полного удаления разного фирменного программного обеспечения, в частности Microsoft Office различных редакций и пакета Office 365.
- Попав на страницу сайта компании, нажмите по кнопке «Download», затем подтвердите скачивание в браузере.
- Установите утилиту, запустив загруженный файл.
- После того как все необходимые компоненты будут распакованы и инсталлированы, ознакомьтесь с лицензионным соглашением и примите его.
- Из выпадающего меню выберите «Microsoft 365» и кликните по «Далее».
Останется дождаться окончания процедуры, а по завершении перезагрузить систему, нажав на соответствующую кнопку.
Способ 4: Специализированный софт
Для полного удаления различных программ разработан специализированный софт. Он способен самостоятельно очистить системный реестр и локальное хранилище от временных и остаточных данных, которые остались после использования ПО. Деинсталлировать пакет Office 365 можно с помощью самых разных продуктов из этой категории — мы уже разбирали несколько наиболее популярных и эффективных вариантов в отдельном обзоре на сайте.

На примере популярной программы Revo Uninstaller можете ознакомиться с тем, как выполняется подобная процедура.
