How to uninstall Microsoft Publisher?

PPPDUD

Any attempts to use IOBit Uninstaller to remove it simply removed Office itself.

Fun fact: If you have malware on a Windows NT device, it's possible that deleting system32 will severely damage the malware. It will also damage your Windows install.

Just completely remove Office with IOBit Uninstaller and reinstall it without Microsoft Publisher

Problem is, I can't reinstall Office, because it requires a new subscription.

From what I remember, Office 365 is linked to Microsoft accounts, meaning you don't need a new subscription for a new install. Why do you even want to remove Publisher? You could just ignore it

Uninstall windows, smash your computer, burn the remains, and voilà! No Microsoft publisher.

nintendo is my favorite indie company :3 they deserve all my money and i love them and will always buy a $60/yr subscription for 30 year old games!!!

If you want to use an overrated Linux distro, maybe.

Yeah, both LibreOffice and OpenOffice work on Windows
Stop assuming anything that's free software is Linux-only >:(

No.. it's just that Microsoft 365 is a better choice for Windows.

Here's a guide:
Go to the Office directory (Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office*version*\root)
Remove the following files:
MSPUB.exe
MSPUB.dll
..\data\MSPUB (the folder)

I don't like manually removing installed software.

Leftover registry entries and other issues are annoying.

That's windows for ya

On linux it's a simple

sudo apt remove microsoft-publisher-definatley-not-spyware

Of course the name would be different and depending on your distro you might need to use a different package manager.
