Scripting

I would just use OffScrub vbs script (OffScrub_O15msi.vbs), instead of the built in uninstaller. I believe they do the same job but the vbs script is much more manageable and easier to deploy.

The script can be acquired easily from this github repo https://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-IT-Pro-Deployment-Scripts/tree/master/Office-ProPlus-Deployment/Remove-PreviousOfficeInstalls

The script comes directly from a Microsoft FixIt. - Myth0S 7 years ago

Ok, I've looked into this and haven't found how I am suppose to deploy this. I've tried to execute that script through the command line and received several syntax errors.
Along searching for deployment options with your suggested solution I came across extracting the content of the O15_CTRREMOVE.DIAGCAB file which provided me with .ps1 files. Which I haven't found a way to successfully deploy those PowerShell scripts.

Hey! Try this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\OfficeClickToRun.exe" scenario=install scenariosubtype=uninstall baseurl="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15" platform=x86 version=15.0.4919.1002 culture=en-us productstoremove=ProfessionalRetail_en-us_x-n DisplayLevel=False

I tested to remove office365. It worked for me using "DisplayLevel=False" - isecph 4 years ago
