    How do I uninstall Skype For Business on W10 Pro?


    Hi -

    Try as I might, I don't see a way to cleanly uninstall Skype For Business in Office 2016 Professional Plus.
    There is an article from Microsoft but the provided URL does not connect to the correct page.

    Anyone?

    TIA!

    Exactly what version of Office do you have?

    Hi. Sorry for the delay. Follow these instructions precisely:

    Code:
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_otherapps-mso_win10-msoversion_other/uninstall-skype-for-business-win-10-office-2016/9dc59f38-b63b-4532-8cff-5a9f9e67cc08?auth=1]
    In the Configuration File fields:

    <Add SourcePath="C:\ODT2016" OfficeClientEdition="32">
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">

    Change 32 to 64, if you are using 64 bit Office.
    Change O365ProPlusRetail to ProPlusRetail

    Cross reference the above link with this one for a bit more detail:

    Code:
    https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/31417/Removing-Skype-for-Business.html
    See "The Procedure that finally did work for me!"
    You will have to delete any Start Menu shortcuts to Skype For Business manually.

    One note:

    When you are in the Command Prompt, be sure to press Enter after 20 seconds following each command.
    I noticed that the CP was hanging when all it needed was another linefeed.

    Tried all the above myself. It works. Just go slow.

    Enjoy!
