Sometimes it might be needed to re-install Outlook or to upgrade Outlook to a newer version. The usual and recommended way would be, to uninstall the old version of Outlook using 'Control Panel' - 'Programs and Features' but sometimes there might appear issues on uninstalling Outlook where an error might appear or where it might not be possible to uninstall Outlook properly.
This article is meant to refer to the Technet articles shown below, in case if the usual way to uninstall Outlook, using 'Control Panel' - 'Programs and Features', would not work and would leave the uninstallation incomplete, improper or with error.
Please note - the reference shown below would include removal of the complete Office Suite, not only of Outlook.
