    I'm trying to remove unnecessary things on my My Windows 10 Pro Surface Pro 4 device. It has two program entries in the Add/Remove pgms list for MS Office product. They are:-

    Microsoft Office 365 - en-us 1.00G 2/08/2019
    Office (with Microsoft Corporation underneath it) 32.2 MB 23/03/2019

    Neither of these indicate where they might be installed, although I know I can troll the C: drive to find at least Office 365. I only use Office 365. Is it safe to remove the second entry "Office" i.e. without affecting Office 365, or is this somehow required as part of Office 365?

    There is a third entry is for "Excel Mobile" (with [last updated?] date 20/07/2019) - Can I remove this too without creating any problems?

    Many thanks for your help.

    When doubt, I'd leave anything I wasn't certain about.
    Is your computer a store bought computer that maybe came with a demo version of Office?

    Excel Mobile is an app for reviewing, updating, and creating spreadsheets on Windows phones and tablets. As long as this is neither a phone nor tablet but a PC then it certainly can be removed. The other one, Office (with Microsoft Corporation underneath it) I agree with Steve R. Jones, leave it alone, it is not taking up much space at all and it may have something to do with your Office 360. Leave it alone

    Thanks for advice, I'll leave them all there. The Surface Pro is a tablet so I might play with Excel Mobile for the experience.

    Sorry, missed the type of device you have in your original post. I am going to bet that Office which is 32 mb is the demo. But none of those are hurting anything so I would leave them.
