Microsoft Teams Uninstall, Reinstall, and Cleanup Guide & Scripts — LazyAdmin

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. Further- would like your input – I’m just curious about the technical aspect as to why there is this Squirrel Telemetry log left on my laptop that keeps logging these uninstall entries for Teams every single time I start up my computer as it does seem rather disturbing.

Is this a Microsoft thing that is a common occurrence? Bumping my question up – I’m just curious about the technical aspect as to why there is this Squirrel Telemetry log left on my laptop that keeps logging these uninstall entries for Teams every single time I start up my computer as it does seem rather disturbing.

This question is more related to the development level of Teams. The pages appear to be providing accurate, safe information.

Thanks for responding. I ran the script and it removed teams but not the machine wide installer. Im still not able to access that myself either. I tried reboot in safe mode but bitlocker asked for my recovery key and that stumped me.

So check for that key now to continue with the steps I gave in Safe Mode. If not then it’s more important than ever that you have your files backed up externally because if WIndows fails you will have no other options but to wipe the drive and reinstall since Bitlocker will lock you out without a key.

Your files should always be backed up because a hard drive can die at any time without notice. In addition I’d have an on-site hard copy backup. You can manually drag or copy them to another hard drive, USB external or flash drive. Besides your files you should save a System Image back up to use in place of reinstall in 20 minutes.

You can even use the Macrium program to mount and extract files from this image so it can serve as both image and file backup too. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it’s resolved.

I have the same question. My start-up time is minutes now. Jim Guth. In reply to AlLucas1’s post on September 16, Let the search program complete it may take some time,. This site in other languages x.

Microsoft Teams is not like your average program when it comes to installing and uninstall it. Besides that, we also have Microsoft Teams machine-wide installer, which will automatically install Teams when a user logs in. Cleaning things up with Microsoft Teams can be quite challenging. I tried for example to remove and re-install Teams for a user recently. After removing everything and re-installing Teams he ended up with a blank Teams app. So no chat history and no more Teams channels even though online everything was still visible.

In this article, I will give you some tips and scripts to remove and cleanup Teams so you can re-install it again. Make Teams a bit more fun with these funny backgrounds for Microsoft Teams.

One of the most common errors with Microsoft Teams is the error Installation Has Failed which can appear when Teams tries to update. This error can keep coming back with every update and is pretty annoying. It will work for now, but the error will probably re-appear with the next update. We start with the easy part, simply uninstalling Microsoft Teams. Some people commented that their Microsoft Teams keeps reinstalling itself after they have uninstalled it.

This is most of the time caused by the Machine-Wide installer. I like to automate things as much as possible, so of course, we also have a PowerShell script to uninstall Microsoft Teams. The script will remove the Machine-Wide installer and Microsoft Teams self.

Make sure you run the PowerShell script in an elevated mode. You can do this by opening PowerShell as Admin. The script will check for the two possible installation locations of Teams and remove it when found. If you want to run this script for multiple users on the same computer , then you can use the following part in place of the Remove Teams for Current User section:. Just to be clear, you can safely uninstall the Teams Machine-wide installer.

All it does is install Teams for every user that signs in. You can uninstall the Teams Machine-wide installer in the settings screen or with a PowerShell script. This can be really useful if you need to remove it from multiple computers. So I had an occasion where I had to remove Microsoft Teams for users, but after re-installing Teams came back with no history. 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.
