Hey all, I have been using the tools at https://office-reset.com/macadmins/ for assisting with O365 and other office related issue. However, I was wondering if anyone has made a Microsoft Teams (Work or School) removal script? Office reset has a full office removal script, however it does not include he new Teams as part of the removal... Main reason for wanting it is to get the mac back to a clean slate from the O365 perspective to troubleshoot some other issues.
Question
Microsoft Teams (Work or School) removal script

+26We are just going to remove the Teams app with rm. Microsoft does not provide an uninstaller, you could use the office removal tool, but with Teams cleanup it should not be needed.
sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app"

Thanks for the quick response AJ. I agree the office removal tool does a great job on removing Teams classic. However, I am looking to remove the new Microsoft Teams (Work or School). It looks like MS has made new locations for the behind the scenes files that make it work... Hence seeing if anyone has made a script. I tried dropping it into AppCleaner and seeing what files it finds, but wasnt sure if there are even more to remove...

Remember that Jamf runs scripts as root, which the MS docs sort of neglect to mention.

He did however post a 2.0 Beta 1 version of the main removal tool (https://office-reset.com/download/Microsoft_Office_Reset_2.0.0.pkg) before going out and if you use a tool like Suspicious Package you can examine the various postinstall scripts in that package to see how they work, including the one updated for Microsoft Teams (Work or School).
