How to delete multiple installs / versions of Microsoft Office
Office Office Everywhere -- I work in a small company where "IT Services" is the person who knows the most about any given software. I'm running Windows 10 with Office 365 Business
My Outlook runs very slow. Reading various tips to improve performance, it's suggested I find a file in the Microsoft Office folder under Program Files. However, when I looked I found several,
This,
Directory: C:Program Files
...
d----- 10/1/2018 10:30 PM Microsoft Office 15
And,
Directory: C:Program Files (x86)

d----- 2/16/2019 8:18 PM Office16
...
d----- 2/4/2014 1:26 PM Microsoft Office 15
Looks like this is the version I'm using given the LastWriteTIme date, C:Program Files (x86) Microsoft Office Office16
Looking into Settings > Apps & Features
I find only one version of Microsoft Office 365 Business, so I don't see Settings as useful to manage these additional folders. Maybe they're just 'traces' of the older versions and not full versions? I don't know enough about Windows apps to be sure.
Assuming the first step to troubleshooting is to remove older versions, and if I don't care about old data stored with these older versions, can I safely "delete" the other directories and their contents? Of course, anytime you ask that question, you're asking for trouble. Maybe there's a more Window-savvy way to do this. On Linux you can rename a directory and "break references". Will that work on Windows? What else can I do?
