The Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal plan includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, and Access apps. After installing the Microsoft Office 365 suite, you might want to uninstall one or more Office applications that you don’t use.
Sadly, the recent versions of Office 365 don’t allow you to uninstall individual apps. There is no way to uninstall apps that you don’t use.
Luckily, the Microsoft Office 365 suite available from the Windows 10/11 Store allows you to uninstall individual Office 365 apps. For instance, you can uninstall Office Access without affecting other Office apps.
Complete the given below directions to uninstall individual Office 365 apps from your Windows 10 computer.
Please note Office 365 installed outside the Store doesn’t let you uninstall individual Office 365 apps. For instance, if you downloaded the Office 365 offline installer from the Microsoft Office website and then installed the same, you cannot uninstall individual apps. Only Office 365 installed from the Windows 10 Store lets you remove individual apps.
Uninstall individual Office 365 apps from Windows 10/11
Note that we are uninstalling the Office 365 Publisher in this guide, but you can use this method for other Office 365 apps as well.
Step 1: On Windows 10, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features. On Windows 11, go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps page.
Step 2: Look for the Microsoft Office Desktop Apps entry and then click on the same to see the Advanced options link. On Windows 11, click the three dots next to the Office Desktop Apps entry and then click Advanced options.
If the Microsoft Office Desktop Apps entry is not showing up or missing, it’s likely because you have installed Office 365 from outside the Store. Currently, there is no way out there to uninstall individual Office 365 apps installed from outside the Windows Store.
Step 3: Scroll down the page to see all Office 365 apps. Click on an app to reveal the Uninstall button. Click on the Uninstall button and then click the Uninstall button again to confirm the same.
Note that to reinstall an app again, you will have to uninstall Office 365 and get it again from the Store.

Could u pls be more precise?
I went to the Ms Store, and for Office it redirected me to the Office website where there’s only the normal installer as well as the offline version. I read in many posts it is impossible to uninstall individually any selected appz of the suite when the installation was made with the click-to-run installer. There’s an option using the ODT (Ms Office Deplotment Tool) but this tool works only with Office BUSINESS plans, so this is not the case of the PERSONAL subscriptions.
So the question is: where did you find the installer that gave you the option with the split single Office applications, that is shown in the screenshots you posted above?
Are you sure that we are dealing with a 365 version? (I mean both the Office 365, aka Win 2019, and Ms 365 aka Win 2020, anyway the versions that use the click-2-run installer)

Yet another example of Windows Bloatware everywhere.

My situation is the same as Brian. Downloaded from Microsoft Office store online but only option is the Microsoft Office 365 – en – us. No visible way to individually uninstall apps.

It looks like any components can’t be selectively uninstalled as described above. However, I have manage to remove one note and skype for business from “apps and features”
Brian says
Copy of Office 365 was downloaded from the Microsoft Store/Office.com. In apps & features, the only option available is Microsoft Office 365 – en-us. The only options are to uninstall or modify (which is just a repair tool that re-installs).
Where is this special version from the MS Store???
