How do i uninstall Office 365 from my iMac including all it's apps

I have Office 365, 2011 edition, on my iMac and I was trying to install the update 2016 apps but they would not update and one of the solutions offered by Microsoft Office was to uninstall the old 365 and try again but I don't know how to do that. My iMac uses the new El Capitan.

The easiest thing to do is install App Cleaner (which is free) and this will automatically remove all components connected to Office on your Mac. Otherwise, like others have pointed out, you have to find all the files yourself manually which can be complicated and messy. Here are full instructions for how to uninstall Office 2016 for Mac but it also applies to Office 365. Hope it helps!
