How do I uninstall specific MS 365 apps like Teams, Outlook, Notes, and OneDrive from my MacBook Air?

I have a licensed version of MS 365 that I use on my windows. I used the same license and installed apps on my macbook air because I wanted Word, Excel and PPT on my Macbook Air 2025. How do I uninstall applications like Teams, Outlook, Notes, OneDrive that I dont intend to use here in Macbook Air?

See the following from Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/uninstall-office-for-mac-eefa1199-5b58-43af-8a3d-b73dc1a8cae3

but only drag the specific applications that you don't want to the trash. Personally I would leave the Library folder alone as the space that you would free up would be minimal.

In other words, I would just drag the applications to the trash and remove them from the Dock if they were there.

I'm assuming you downloaded and installed office directly from Microsoft.

Remove it completely and download the individual apps you want installed from the Mac App Store instead. You sign into them with your existing MS 365 account.


That way you don't have to deal with the bloat of apps you don't want. Another bonus is updates are much cleaner and more efficient from the App Store than they are using MS update for the installed full version.


I've been using it that way for years.
