I ran the normal uninstaller for Office 365, but I wanted to make sure that every trace of Office 365 was gone. In short order I found an Office Removal Tool that says that it removes Office 365 and a bunch of other Office versions. So I downloaded it and ran it.

This time I am going to try the removal again and I will manually delete the Office associated folders in apps/local and apps/roaming as well as any other folders that I can find on the system that seem related to any version of Office.

The methods described above is right, apart from this one if looking to backup Office 365 mailboxes before uninstalling Office 365 from its system then must refer to Kernel for Office 365 Backup and Restore tool. It is an advanced tool to backup Office 365 mailboxes to local system in PST file format.

I recently purchased a new computer, which came pre-installed with the "Click to Run" version of Microsoft Office 365. Our organization does not use Office 365, and instead, we use the full Office Standard version.

I uninstalled Office from the computer and attempted to install Office Standard using the "Office Deployment Tool 2021" executable. After a few seconds, it shows an error message that states it "Couldn't install". The code provided is "Error Code: 0-2054 (0)".

As an expert, we advise the retail users to go with retail editions which is actually safe. Because, you will own the product key and can link it to your personal account and you can also re-use the license if you change your computer.

However, I want to update Excel in order to install the Spanish language pack or whatever, and what happens is that Office is uninstalled and then the same error pops up, "can't install office in the current update channel" or something like that. How can I update office without further issues?

It asked me where to extract the files, ended up with 5 files, 4 were .xml's and one setup.exe, turns out all i needed to do was running the setup exe like this: "setup.exe /configure configuration-Office2021Enterprise.xml"

That was one of the xml files present, each for a different installation, like office 365 and the like. If the Office Deployment Tool doesn't ask you where to extract these files, search in temp folder.

Besides, I suggest you check the ODT tool, you can try the latest one. If you have used the latest version of ODT, it is recommended to try the previous versions, such as the one in April.

Thank you for your suggestion. I ended up getting on a support call with a Microsoft Tech, who convinced me to get a refund for Office 2021 Standard and go with Office 365. That wasn't my preference, but I was under a deadline and needed to get Office loaded on this machine.

I did tons of research on the Internet before posting here, and can see that many people are frustrated by this error. Some get it resolved and some end up doing exactly what I did. For a company like Microsoft, I frankly expect better.

Microsoft have done many great things over the years but have also made some bad (maybe awful) decisions in my opinion. This includes discontinuing Zune and Windows Phone and Xbox Kinect as well as the addition of Clippy to Office or the removal of the Start Menu in Windows 8.

However, the latest change that I am less than impressed by is the changing of the default Office font (technically Typeface) from Calibri to Aptos. This article explains how to restore Calibri as the default in Microsoft Outlook.

Microsoft have spent a lot of time working on designing and selecting a new typeface and have their reasons for updating it in Office. According to the creator, Steve Matteson, Aptos was based on the Bierstadt typeface and is described as a Helvetica with a bit of a human touch that makes it more approachable and less institutional.

I am not averse to change and have embraced many of the UI (User Interface) changes to the Office menus, toolbars, ribbons, and other navigation layouts over the years. But the change of the Default Theme to the Aptos 12 point font in Microsoft Outlook is not working for me.

I find the font blurry and hard to read on my main monitor (running at 100% DPI, no scaling), when I moved the message window to my other screen (Surface Book 2 display running at 150% DPI) it does look better, but I still prefer Calibri 11 point as it just seems cleaner and less bulky, especially when bolded.

These changes seemed to make it behave better, but text emails were still using Aptos. Another issue is that I have lots of email templates already created in Word and when copy and pasted into an email, the font changed to Aptos, even though it was Calibri in Word. I could select Keep Source Formatting from the Paste options, but it was still an annoying extra step.

[Edit] Even after all the changes listed above, Copying and Pasting via the clipboard into Outlook would often change the font to Aptos. This happened when the font in the source Word document was Calibri 11pt and the default font in the target Outlook email was Calibri 11pt. When pasting into the email, the result was suddenly Aptos 12pt.

The Paste Options default to Use Destination Styles, but none of my Destination Styles are using Aptos. Changing to the first option Keep Source Formatting or the second option Merge Formatting bring the pasted text back to Calibri. Having to use the Paste Options every time was becoming very annoying.

As seen in the pasting example screenshot (above) when pasting from Word to Outlook it ignored the Keep Source Formatting setting and attempted to Use Destination Styles instead. So, this change to Merge Formatting will fix the pasting issue even if the Destination Styles have not been restored to Calibri by resetting the Style Set.

Updating the Style Set (as described above) has also fixed text only emails so that they now show with the default Calibri font and not with Aptos. I think the nightmare of Aptos in Outlook is finally over.

Assuming LibreOffice is provided by official Ubuntu packages on your system (which it generally is, unless you've installed it yourself from other packages or from the LibreOffice website), you can thoroughly remove it in the Terminal:

I think it's unlikely that removing any of this will break other programs, because Lubuntu doesn't come with LibreOffice, and Lubuntu users are able to run just about any Ubuntu program, without having to install LibreOffice.

Still, that is a legitimate concern and I cannot guarantee that nothing depends on your existing LibreOffice installation. Fortunately, the most serious breakages can be averted by making sure that nothing you need is removed with the LibreOffice packages. You can either be very careful while running the removal command (watch out for whatever else it says will be uninstalled), or simulate the removal first:

I haven't heard about any problems arising from removing fonts-opensymbol but those are fonts, and not enough people remove the package to know if problems viewing documents are common. So if the simulation reveals that a number of other packages you need or are unfamiliar with would be removed, try simulating without removing fonts-opensymbol and see what happens. And you might decide just not to remove that one at all.

To shorten the command and avoiding having to type the name of every individual package, and also potentially to extend the life of this procedure in case differently named packages are provided in later versions of LibreOffice, I used the * wildcard to cover many packages at once. It is itself escaped with \ so that it won't be expanded by the shell into the name of some unrelated file or directory, before it is passed on to apt-get.

While I appreciate the command-line (terminal) as much as the next enthusiast, I like having a GUI front-end alternative, a mouse-only solution to trivial matters. In this case, in Synaptic, you can mark the libreoffice-core package for complete removal, and it offers to remove the following additional (related/dependant) packages as well:

libreoffice-base libreoffice-base-core libreoffice-calc libreoffice-draw libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-gtk libreoffice-help-en-us libreoffice-impress libreoffice-math libreoffice-ogltrans libreoffice-pdfimport libreoffice-presentation-minimizer libreoffice-writer python3-uno

Disclaimer: I'm not a seasoned linux user, in fact I'm new to this world. I realize this method may not be satisfactory to some, and this answer may come too late to be of any use to the original asker, but I'm only sharing my findings in hopes they will be of use to others looking for something like this. So while this method might not remove all associated packages, some of which have been mentioned, it seems safer and good enough at removing most of the packages, to me, so maybe for others as well. Lastly, a note: in my case, mint-meta-xfce is also among the packages to be removed.
