Cannot Remove Default Add-In #785

Closed gagestinson closed 11 months ago

gagestinson commented 11 months ago

I was developing an add-in and when installing the generator I ran it by default to see how it looked in Outlook. It displays fine, I then uninstalled it as well as node but the add-in buttons are still present and I cannot figure out how to get rid of them. I was running the latest version of Node and the tools. I have since uninstalled them, expecting this to cause the add-in to go away. image

You should be able to remove these using the add-in management UI, available either through "Get Add-ins" or "All Apps" ribbon buttons (depending on your Outlook version). This page describes this in more detail. Let me know if this is what you were looking for?

I have gotten it now. That was not the issue, though. I followed the link you sent and it said that there should be a Home > All Apps/Get Add-ins button in the ribbon, which I did not see. So I went to customize the ribbon and it turns out the add-in buttons were just stuck on the ribbon and did not go away by default. But I now have manually removed them. Thanks!

No, ribbon customization UI will not help here, I expect the buttons will re-appear if the add-ins are still installed. To really remove them, you should use the UI I pointed out. Did you see "Get Add-ins" button instead? You can also get to the management UI via File -> "Manage Add-ins" button:
