Star New issue. Jump to bottom. Cannot re-install Teams with the system-wide msi after uninstalling rejohnson76 opened this issue Feb 28, — with docs. Copy link. All reactions. Marvin, You are a genius! The key was to uninstall the machine-wide msi, restart the computer and let the HKLM Run key remove the app. Maybe someone at MS knows another value that would disable the prevent function? I tried for example to remove and re-install Teams for a user recently.
After removing everything and re-installing Teams he ended up with a blank Teams app. So no chat history and no more Teams channels even though online everything was still visible. In this article, I will give you some tips and scripts to remove and cleanup Teams so you can re-install it again. Make Teams a bit more fun with these funny backgrounds for Microsoft Teams.
One of the most common errors with Microsoft Teams is the error Installation Has Failed which can appear when Teams tries to update. This error can keep coming back with every update and is pretty annoying. It will work for now, but the error will probably re-appear with the next update. We start with the easy part, simply uninstalling Microsoft Teams. Some people commented that their Microsoft Teams keeps reinstalling itself after they have uninstalled it.
This is most of the time caused by the Machine-Wide installer. I like to automate things as much as possible, so of course, we also have a PowerShell script to uninstall Microsoft Teams. The script will remove the Machine-Wide installer and Microsoft Teams self.
Make sure you run the PowerShell script in an elevated mode. You can do this by opening PowerShell as Admin. The script will check for the two possible installation locations of Teams and remove it when found.
If you want to run this script for multiple users on the same computer , then you can use the following part in place of the Remove Teams for Current User section:. Just to be clear, you can safely uninstall the Teams Machine-wide installer. All it does is install Teams for every user that signs in. You can uninstall the Teams Machine-wide installer in the settings screen or with a PowerShell script. This can be really useful if you need to remove it from multiple computers.
So I had an occasion where I had to remove Microsoft Teams for users, but after re-installing Teams came back with no history.
The only solution to fix this was to clear the cache of Microsoft Teams. I expected it to be in the roaming AppData, but it turned out to be not the only location. We also need to clear the Chrome and Edge Cache to completely remove it.
Mark Vale had already created a really nice PowerShell script to clear the Microsoft Teams Cache, so we are going to use that:. I hope these scripts helped you remove and clean up Microsoft Teams.
If you want to re-install Microsoft Teams, then make sure you check out this article. Again thanks to Mark Vale for the clean-up script! Maybe this is an unspecified error that update. Thank you.
