Remove files
Remove files from users' computers when Office is installed.
To create a list of files to remove from the user's computer during installation, choose Add. To modify
the path or name of a file, select the file in the Remove files list and choose Modify. To remove a file
from the list, select the file and choose Remove. You can use the SHIFT key and CTRL key to select
multiple files at the same time.
Note:
Files that are listed in the Remove files list are removed from the user's computer before files
that are listed in the Add files list are installed. Therefore, you can delete existing files on a
user's computer and replace them with new versions. If the destination file on a user's
computer is renamed or changed, an added file that has the same name does not replace it.
File Path dialog box
In the File path dialog box, enter the path and file name of the file that you want to add to the list of files
to remove from the user's computer, and choose OK.
The path must begin with a drive letter, a UNC path, or one of the special folders shown in the following
table.
