– How to Uninstall Microsoft Teams (Permanently)

 

Can I please check if it is common for Microsoft Teams to automatically install on laptops without requiring user permission? Or could it be because this installer is still on my laptop? On a side note, after uninstallation of Teams somehow when I click the update. Would anyone happen to know why is this update. Attachments: Up to 10 attachments including images can be used with a maximum of 3. However, my question was actually is WHY the squirrelupdater and update.

This doesn’t seem to be normal behaviour, thus would like to solicit the expertise of the Microsoft employees and contributors.

And also, if it is common for Teams to auto install on my computer on a random day without requiring my permission. Look if Microsoft Teams doesn’t start with Windows To clean Microsoft Teams you can try my previous answer and check whats happen after a reboot. Make sure that you have uninstalled all the software which related to Teams, such as Teams Machine-Wide Installer. Regarding the automatically install of Teams, it recommends you contact the IT admin about whether he use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, or Group Policy, or any third-party distribution mechanisms for broad deployment.

Previously I had already uninstalled both the Teams Machine-Wide Installer, as well as the Teams app itself, but these folders still remain on my laptop – does this mean that it was not a clean uninstallation?

Could I check specifically why, then the Squirrel Telemetry log keeps logging these uninstall entries every single time I start up my computer? If I delete all these folders like you advised, will they re-appear the next time I start-up? It is disturbing how there are logs every single time I start up my computer showing that Teams is uninstalled – is this a common occurrence?

My IT dept has advised that there was no deployment of Microsoft teams. Is it possible that the Microsoft Teams installation was deployed together with a recent update to Microsoft apps? Starting with version , Teams is included as part of new installations of Microsoft Apps. Noted with thanks. I’m trying to uninstall Teams completely and am unable to do so.

When I click “Uninstall” I get prompted to find an Teams. I tried downloading several MSIs and using those, nothing worked. I’m on Windows 10 Pro. Thanks for the screenshot. See Uninstall Microsoft Teams. Let us know the result so that we can further assist you. Your cooperation is highly appreciated.

Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn’t help. Thanks for your feedback. I have already done that, it does not work. The screenshot I put was just after me trying just that. Btw, the main reason I’m trying to uninstall is to see if I can solve two other problems with teams:. I’ve already tried to update the protocol associations for msteams in Settings, but it won’t let me, it says there are no apps associated to that protocol.

Thanks for the update.

 
 

How to Uninstall Microsoft Teams on Windows 10 – Uninstalling Microsoft Teams

 
 

The only solution to fix this was to clear the cache of Microsoft Teams. I expected it to be in the roaming AppData, but it turned out to be not the only location. We also need to clear the Chrome and Edge Cache to completely remove it. Mark Vale had already created a really nice PowerShell script to clear the Microsoft Teams Cache, so we are going to use that:.

I hope these scripts helped you remove and clean up Microsoft Teams. If you want to re-install Microsoft Teams, then make sure you check out this article. Again thanks to Mark Vale for the clean-up script! Maybe this is an unspecified error that update. Thank you. This is an excellent script…thank you for publishing! However, I need it to be remotely executable. This seemed to worked fine as I have. The up-to-date profiles appear to be skipped due to version check and still have all files no.

But the Teams installer is a strange one, to be honest. Hi super, we are struggling with this because many times users have problems with logging in: there is an error occured.

When i start the script for uninstalling multiple users then a error occures: uninstallteams is nog recognised as a cmdlet….? Make sure that you have loaded the function in PowerShell.

I am copy the script to powershell ISE and then save it as a ps1. Then copy the ps1 to the local computer and then start it using. Am i doing this wrong? Thanks for the script. Exactly what I was looking for. With the 2nd script by Mark to remove cache, it looks like it is for a single user case. Are you able to modify it to do a recursive delete for all users on the RDS server? You can only modify the start menu items with Windows 10 Enterprise. With Windows 10 pro you can only preconfigure the start menu for new users.

One other item to remove from the appdata local would be the squirell temp directory. That will cause reinstalls to fail. If that is cleaned up in one of the scripts above, sorry for not reading all the way thru.

Wonder if SfB was set up the same way. This is exactly what I needed since I suspect our Teams deployment has gone wrong and I need to remove it from multiple computers and user profiles. You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. This is part of the whole problem with the Teams installation. Teams refuses to sign into my corporate SSO infrastructure whenever I reboot, for whatever corner-case reason that our IT cannot figure out, and the easiest remedy is to reinstall it on each reboot.

This script is perfect for automating such an annoying and should-be-unecessary task. Rhis PS script is exactly what I need but I keep getting this error for both machine wide or local user uninstall scripts.

I was trying your script to uninstall teams for all user so they can get the newest version of Teams. Because of FS Logix the profile folder is not on the session host when the user is logged off..

I am unfamiliar with FS Logix, but if I understand you correctly then your only option is to run the script when the user is logged in and run it in the user context. Maybe a simple scheduled task on the server that is triggered at login? I was trying to use your script to uninstall Teams for al users on an rds environment.

This because I needed to update it and this seems the only way to get the job done.. Tried multiple times with same outcome. Hi, About the uninstallation for multiple users on the same computer: The uninstallation command for each user is intended to be run in the user session. Can you really run this per-user uninstallation command for every user from a unique admin session? Even with admin rights you may not have write access to the users files, directories, registry entries. As local admin you should have access to the users files.

Thanks for the update. It will help us to determine whether it is specific Windows registry side issue. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community.
