Months ago, I installed Microsoft Teams on my computer because a specific project used it. It is the only Microsoft Software I have on there (a Mac and I use OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office).
As that project winds down, is there _any_ reason not to find and remove all Microsoft stuff from my machine? It’s updater alone weirdly wants to update itself every week it seems.
Also, what’s the best way to do so?
