Completely uninstalling Microsoft products on a Mac

Hello, I've seen the official notes on how to uninstall Office 365 on my Mac. I've done that.

However, having done so I note that there are a lot of other folders in Finder that weren't mentioned in the uninstall section.

In /Library/Containers:
com.microsoft.Excel.widgetextension

com.microsoft.onenote.mac.shareextension

com.microsoft.Outlook

com.microsoft.Outlook.CalendarWidget

com.microsoft.Powerpoint.widgetextension

com.microsoft.teams2.agent

com.microsoft.teams2.notificationcenter

com.microsoft.teams2.respawn

com.microsoft.teams2.widgetextension

com.microsoft.Word.widgetextension

Microsoft Teams

In /Library/Group Containers:
UBF8T34G69.com.microsoft.entrabroker

UBF8T34G69.com.microsoft.oneauth

UBF8T34G69.com.microsoft.teams

UBF8T34G69.groups.com.microfoft.shared

UBF8T34G69.ms

UBF8T34G69.OffciceExcelWidget

UBF8T346G9.OfficeOneDriveSynclntegration

UBF8T346G9.OfficeWordWidget

My aim is to remove Microsoft products from my Mac entirely.

Are these safely deletable? I've no idea why they aren't mentioned in the uninstallation document (nor why there's not a simple 'please uninstall Office' mechanism for Mac).

I no longer use OneDrive or Excel or Word or Powerpoint or Teams or Outlook or OneNote.

Hi Mark,

There is no official uninstaller for Office on a Mac, yes, you are correct, the folders you list are all safe to delete, if you no longer want to use Microsoft 365, OneDrive, Teams and Outlook for Email on your Apple Mac device.
