Uninstalling all version of MS Office products 2010, 2013, 2016 & 2019
Question
Hello Friends,
I need to uninstall MS-Office products like MS-Office 2010,2013,2016 & 2019 which were installed previously on 100+ windows servers as per client requirements and I don’t have the setup files for MS-office.
I need some help/assistance about how to proceed with removal of MS-Office using application/package or scripts.
I have created a batch file which includes the below commands.
However when I target this as application/package in “Uninstall” action mode, it kills the opened word/excel but it fails in software center with error as “0x87D00325(-2016410843)” and MS-Office doesn’t get uninstall.

You can also try with PS Script to remove previous versions of Office-
