    Hi Mark Caskenette,

    To remove an add-in from Outlook for Mac, you can follow these steps:

    Method 1: Remove via Outlook Preferences

    1. Open Outlook on your MacBook.
    2. Click on "Outlook" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or press  + ,).
    3. Go to the "General" tab.
    4. Click on "Manage Add-ins" (or "Add-ins" in some versions).
    5. You’ll see a list of installed add-ins. Uncheck the box next to the add-in you want to disable.
    6. If you want to completely remove it, click the "−" (minus) button or look for a "Remove" option.
    7. Restart Outlook for the changes to take effect.

    Method 2: Remove via Microsoft 365 Admin (For Work/School Accounts)

    If the add-in was deployed by your organization’s IT admin, you may need to contact them to remove it. However, you can try:

    1. Open Outlook and go to "File" > "Manage Add-ins".
    2. Sign in to your Microsoft 365 account if prompted.
    3. Find the add-in and click "Remove"

    Method 3: Manually Delete the Add-in Files (Advanced)

    If the add-in isn’t listed in Outlook preferences, you may need to manually delete its files:

    1. Close Outlook.
    2. Open Finder and go to:

    ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Outlook/Data/Library/Application Scripts/

    (Replace ~ with your Home folder if needed.)

    1. Look for folders related to the add-in and delete them.
    2. Empty the Trash and restart Outlook.
