Remove or Uninstall Microsoft Office or Office 365 using Microsoft Office Uninstaller Tool

I do not know when or how it had happened, but sometimes after updating Windows, I found that I was unable to open Word, Excel, PowerPoint or any Office documents. It looked like my Microsoft Office installation had become corrupt.

I tried to uninstall Office through the Control Panel > Programs and Features > Uninstall applet. But it did not work. Right-clicking, selecting Change, and trying to repair Office also did not work.

Then I came across this tool from Microsoft Fix that lets you easily remove or completely uninstall Office 365 or Office 2019/2016/2013 suites and programs.
