Can you uninstall Microsoft 365 after installing Office 2021?

I cant find a clear answer when I google! Or at least one I'm reading with confidence that I wont delete Office 2021 and all associated documents.

My computer came with a trial of Microsoft 365 as many do! I didn't want to pay an annual fee so I purchased Office 2021 and I use that fine. I'm now wondering if I can go into Windows Add and Remove programs' and delete Microsoft 365 without any risk of losing my documents saved while using Office 2021?

Just trying to tidy up unused software!

Uninstall office 365 and anything associated with it. Then just install office 2021 with your new licence.

You won’t lose any documents.

Double check your save location and if you are really unsure just make a backup of your documents somewhere in a new folder if you have the space.

Thanks for the response. I have already installed office 2021 though. Could I still delete 365?

Sure. It might want a repair of office 2021 depends if it’s using shared components but you won’t lose documents.
