I'm trying to make some space on my 250 mg hard drive. Is there an easy way to uninstall Outlook & Powerpoint? I still use Word & Excel. Thanks.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Core 2 Duo/2.5 GHz/4 GB RAM/250 GB
there is a program named "AppCleaner". you can google it. Drop powerpoint or anything into it then click delete. it should work.
But if i were you, i would uninstall the entire office, then only install word, excel or what you prefer to use.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I had a feeling the best way to do it would be a complete uninstall. But I don't see an "Uninstall" choice either under MS Office or in any other location. Just move it to the trash ???
From the Applications folder, move whatever you dont want to the Trash. Its then gone. Then click Finder/Secure empty Tras ... then its gone forever.
No
Do not move it to the trash
Follow these removal instructions (sorry but it is a long procedure) follow it exactly and do not omit any part of the procedure, then reinstall just the parts you need.

That is incorrect, and will leave a mess behind it, only Microsofts (rather messy) procedure will work correctly
Csound1 ... you are correct! I had done that once and it had left a heck of a mess. Microsoft's own procedure is probably better. Thanks!
You're welcome.
Thank you Csound1 for jumping in with your answer. I've printed out the directions from your link and I'll start the process tomorrow. I did go to Microsoft's site first, but wanted confirmation that their directions would also work on a Mac. I really appreciate your time in answering this.
You're welcome 🙂

Just FYI, App Cleaner (or any other that I have tried) will not remove MS Office 2011 completely, neither will Microsoft's own automated uninstaller. The manual method works, but must be adhered to exactly
I know this is an old thread, but to bring closure to it can someone please advise how to selectively install applications from the install bundle, as referenced above? i have seen it posted elsewhere to 'simply' install what you want, but this doesn't seem very straightforward to me and others who *do not* have install cds, but instead have .dmgs from schools, universities, etc.
Nevermind! The installer has a button for 'Customize' tucked away on the mid-left bottom of the pane. Here's the reference pic: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1627409#6

You can't the Microsoft Office Installer is an all or nothing affair.
What's the problem. what are you trying to acheive by only installing bits of Office?

No, do not just move it to the trash.
Here are the removal instructions for MS Office for Mac, follow them.
I just did a dry run thru the Office 2011 installer just to confirm the customize option is available. It's there, but in a horrible blind spot!
Then why not enlighten us by telling us where it is hidden.
This is the standard custom installer exception blurb
Click Customize to select or to remove optional installation components. For example, click Customizeif you do not want to install Office Fonts, Dock Icons, or certain applications such as Microsoft Messenger, Remote Desktop, or Microsoft Document Connection.
Which does not allow you to alter which applications are installed.
So I would like to know what you know.
How do I uninstall Outlook & PowerPoint (Office 2011) from my MacBook Pro?
