You could try to uninstall Microsoft Office Desktop Apps by using the following script as Administrator.

$computerList ="" #List of the computers that you wish to target with the script
$creds = Get-Credential  #make sure that this is an Administrator account

foreach($computer in $computerList){

    #Test to see if the computer will accept the connection before continuing
    if(Test-Connection -ComputerName $computer -Quiet){

        #Create a Powershell session on the target machine with the admin credentials from earlier
        $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $computer -Credential $creds

        #Run the script on the target machine
        Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {
            $packages = "Microsoft.Office.Desktop"
            ForEach ($item in $packages) { 

                Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online | where DisplayName -EQ $item | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online 
            }
        }

        #Tidy up the powershell session on the target mechine
        Remove-PSSession $session
    }
}

Thank you.

The command Line I used to fix this issue. This command will fix this issue for any new users. For the current user you will have to uninstall.

I replaced $item with Microsoft.Office.Desktop

**Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online | where DisplayName -EQ Microsoft.Office. Desktop | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online **

Hi,

What's type of this program, UWP or Classic /desktop program?

If it's desktop program, just go to Control Panel -> Program -> Uninstall a program, select the program you want to remove, click Uninstall.

If it's UWP program, remove it via PowerShell command:

Get-appxpackage -allusers | where-object {$_.packagename -like "*3dbuilder*"} | remove-appxpackage

Note: Replace the *3dbuilder* to your actual package name.

This is the software I am trying to remove. For some odd reason I have performed the command line, but it is not working. It is still presenting even after I have performed this command line in elevate Powershell.

Get-appxpackage -allusers | where-object {$_.packagename -like "*3dbuilder*"} | remove-appxpackage
