Uninstall Microsoft Teams permanently - here's how

If you no longer need Microsoft Teams or are having problems with the program, you can remove it from your computer. To do so, simply uninstall it in the settings.

These steps will help you uninstall Microsoft Teams

The Teams program was developed by Microsoft to help you work in a team, even if you are not in the same place. If you no longer need Microsoft Teams or are not satisfied with the program, you can uninstall the app by following these steps.

1. Make sure the Microsoft Teams app is closed.
2. Press the key combination of "Windows key" + "I" to open the settings of your Windows PC.
3. In the settings, please navigate to "Apps" > "Apps & Features" and select the "Microsoft Teams" entry in the list that appears.
4. Then click on the "Uninstall" button and confirm the deletion of the program by clicking on "Uninstall" again and then on "Yes".

This is how you ensure that Microsoft Teams remains permanently uninstalled

To prevent Microsoft Teams from being reinstalled during a future update of the operating system, it is necessary to search for the "Teams Machine-Wide Installer" entry in the program list after performing the steps described above. Once you have found it, please mark the entry and delete it by clicking "Uninstall". Finally, to check whether the uninstallation was successful, please open the Run dialog, enter the command "appwiz.cpl" and make sure that Microsoft Teams is no longer listed in the Control Panel.
