How to Uninstall Outlook 2007

Windows XP and Vista include a utility to remove programs without requiring the original installation disc. MS Outlook can be uninstalled to avoid conflicting email program applications and to optimize disk space. MS Outlook 2007 can also be uninstalled so a previous version of Outlook can be installed (such as Outlook 2003). Sometimes MS Outlook 2007 or other MS Office Suite applications can't be completely removed through the utility because the program files need to be repaired. Once the MS Office suite programs are repaired, individual applications (such as Outlook) can be removed.
