    How do I get rid of Microsoft teams?


    Title of the thread basically. Even if I uninstall it, it returns back in the next reboot like a virus!
    For now I have disabled it in the startup. But can i remove it for good?

    You have to uninstall two programs, Teams and installer. Can't remeber exact name, will check and get back later.

    It is Teams Machine-Wide Installer, click Uninstall.

    Close the Teams app first

    Thanks a lot...i was finally able to get rid of Microsoft Teams from my laptop

    Even after uninstalling both the items I could see Microsoft Teams under my Task Manager -> Startup in 'Enabled' status I have manually switched the status to 'Disabled' in Startup...so all should be fine now.

    Please can you help with my below query on using CCleaner with the Dell XPS 9380 SSD.

    I just want to use the below 3 features from CCleaner and nothing else:
    1. Cleaner to analyze and trash the junk files/temp files
    2. Registry cleaner to clean the registry
    3. Startup manager to manage windows startup apps

    I will NOT be using it for defragging the SSD, secure file deletion, wipe free space or driver wiper.
    In many places I have heard against using CCleaner on a SSD (though they mainly warn against secure file deletion, Drive Wiper, wipe free space) so I believe the actions I intend to perform using CCleaner (i.e., clean temp/junk files, reg clean, startup manage) should not pose a threat to the health of the 9380 SSD. Kindly confirm.

    One warning only... be careful with registry cleaner. Be sure to have backup ready. I would do a system image with Macrium free, but any backup would do

    thanks for the prompt response mate...from your response I gather it is fine to use CCleaner for the mentioned 3 operations and when it comes to cleaning registry I need to have a good image backed up, am I right?

    Well, I wouldn't do reg cleaning. But if you want... make backup handy. You shoud have it anyway

    For startup... check autoruns. For cleaning kunk, temp, CCleaner isfine
