How do I remove Microsoft Error Reporting 2.2?

I can't find this app to delete it. Searching the hard drive comes up with nothing. There's no launcher icon. There's nothing in Applications.



I'm running macOS 14.2.1

I was able to find the newer versions of "Microsoft Error Reporting.app" using the free app called "Find Any File". You could probably locate this older version, "Microsoft Error Reporting 2.2.app" by using it then delete that version of 2.2.

In my opinion that file no longer exists on your installation and is a glitch in the Microsoft updater app. Using a similar app called EasyFind I found instances of the current version of Microsoft Error Reporting app within seconds. All had been updated yesterday.


If you look at your screenshot you see that app’s icon with the circle/slash, meaning the file no longer exists. If you can’t find any references then you may be at the point of having to reinstall Office.

That icon doesn't mean the file doesn't exist, it means the app is not compatible with the current version of macOS.

If has been written - the Cycle with Bar through the icon would mean the files does not exist


At least that is how it worked when downloading the Full Version of Sonoma 14.3.1 via Terminal


The Launched the Install Sonoma successfully


Upon reboot >> Launched and there was the icon " install Sonoma "


Clicked on it and nothing


Look again the the Circle with Bar though it was there


As for Microsoft Applications on macOS - that would be a MS Windows issue IMHO
