How to Uninstall Outlook on Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you tired of using Outlook on your Mac? Perhaps you've decided to switch to a different email client or service, or maybe you're experiencing some issues with the app that you can't resolve. Whatever the reason, uninstalling Outlook from your Mac is a relatively straightforward process.

Before we dive into the steps, it's worth noting that if you have Microsoft 365 annual subscriptions purchased from the App Store, they will be charged to your account and will automatically renew unless you disable auto-renewal. To do this, go to Manage > Subscriptions in the App Store and toggle off Auto-Renew.

Now, let's get started with uninstalling Outlook on Mac:

1. First, open the Applications folder on your Mac and find the Outlook app.

2. Right-click (or Control-click) on the Outlook icon and select Move to Trash from the context menu.

3. Alternatively, you can also drag the Outlook icon to the Trash folder.

4. Go to the Finder and press Command + Shift + Delete to open the Terminal window.

5. Type the following command: `rm -rf /Applications/Outlook.app` (without quotes) and press Enter.

This will delete the Outlook app from your Applications folder.

6. To remove any remaining files and settings associated with Outlook, go to the Users & Groups preference pane in System Preferences.

7. Click on the Login Items tab and select the profile you want to use as the default.

8. Click Set Default Profile and then Set As Default.

9. Restart your Mac for the changes to take effect.

And that's it! You have now successfully uninstalled Outlook from your Mac. If you encounter any issues during the process, you can always reinstall the app or seek assistance from Microsoft Support.

Remember to also disable auto-renewal of your Microsoft 365 subscription if you no longer plan to use the service. By following these simple steps, you can easily uninstall Outlook on your Mac and move on with your email needs.
