Uninstall Salesforce for Outlook (SFO)


Note: Refer to your company's internal Help Desk or IT if you have any difficulties following these steps:
 

Select Your Uninstall Preference


1) I plan to reinstall SFO in the future

  1. Close Microsoft Outlook.
  2. Right-click the Salesforce for Outlook system tray icon and click on Exit.
  3. Use the Windows and R key combination to bring up the Run box and type in Appwiz.cpl to bring up the list of installed applications on your machine (you can also navigate to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features).
  4. Select the Salesforce for Outlook and click on Uninstall and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you are uninstalling to install a new version of SFO, remove the old Salesforce for Outlook database files in C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\salesforce.com\Salesforce for Outlook\DB\, then go directly to the 'Install Salesforce for Outlook (SFO)' section below.

 

2) I want to remove all the user data

  1. First follow the instructions above to uninstall SFO.
  2. Next, Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the 'Run' command prompt screen.
  3. Enter %AppData%\Salesforce.com\
  4. In the folder that opens, right-click the 'Salesforce for Outlook' folder and select Delete. This removes the user settings and SFO sync database.

 

3) I want to uninstall the installed prerequisites from my computer

First follow the instructions under 'I plan to reinstall SFO in the future' to uninstall SFO and then uninstall the installed prerequisites from your computer using the following steps.

Note: If you have Outlook 2007, look for programs noted below and select them one at a time, then click Uninstall (for Windows Vista/7/8 users) or Remove (Windows XP Users).

*If you run into any problems uninstalling the Salesforce for Outlook, you can refer to this knowledge article and use the Microsoft utility listed there


Outlook 2007

  • Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA)
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime x64 or x86 (VSTO)


Outlook 2010

  • Microsoft Office 2019 Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA)
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime x64 or x86  (VSTO)


Outlook 2013, 2016, and 365

Most probably you won't have anything to remove. The PIA is already included in the Office installation and it won't get installed on your machine. VSTO is not installed by the SFO installer either, but you can remove it from your machine if you see it under the list of installed applications in the Control Panel.

 

With these steps complete, you have uninstalled SFO from your computer.

Before you start your installation, complete the following actions:

  • Make sure Outlook Exchange Cache Mode is enabled. If this feature is not already enabled, make sure SFO is not running, enable the feature, and then wait until the mailbox data is fully downloaded and that Outlook shows that all folders are up to date.
  • Make sure your computer is up to date and has all the necessary updates installed.
