If you didn’t know, uninstalling and reinstalling is one of the first easy method to attempt to fix the software problem but that won’t be possible if the uninstaller got corrupted. As a tech guy I am always prepared with tools to make my repair job faster and easier. One of such important tool is a portable removal tool that can force the uninstallation of a particular software.
Most of the computer that I have repaired has Microsoft Office installed. Some is as old as Office XP and the latest one I have seen is Office 2010. It is indeed one of the most commonly used software to open and edit Word Documents (.doc), Excel (.xls), even though it is very expensive with alternatives such as OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice that can be downloaded and used for free. When faced with problems that I cannot fix in Microsoft Office, I would fully remove it and then attempt to reinstall.
First I would attempt to uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 from Control Panel. If the Windows system is not too corrupted, most of the time the uninstall process would be successful. However there are times when the user themselves screws up their Windows with untrusted cleaning and optimization software.
If this happen and I couldn’t uninstall Office 2010 using the standard procedure, the next step is to try to use the Microsoft Fix it 50450 tool (MicrosoftFixit50450.msi). This tool is only 680KB in size and is able to fully remove Office 2010 suites without damaging other Windows components. Just run the Fix It tool and follow the on-screen instructions.

Most of the time the Fix It tool provided by Microsoft is enough to remove any trace of Microsoft Office 2010 but here is another keeper in case you need to go as far as booting into Safe Mode for further cleanup. Another tool called Remove Office 2010 created by Refuse To Suffer can strip out Microsoft Office 2010 when the standard uninstall process won’t work. It is only 112KB in size and advisable to run it in Safe Mode to prevent issues uninstalling components such as Sharepoint Workspace (or known as Groove in Office 2007). All you need to do is boot into Safe Mode, run Remove Office 2010 and click the Go button.
