How to Remove Skype for Business

Skype for Business currently installs as a packaged product with Microsoft 365 Business Professional desktop apps.  The installation does not install Teams as a part of the Microsoft 365 Business Professional desktop apps.  Additionally, Skype for Business has its own installation which is separate from Microsoft 365 Business Professional desktop apps installation.

Windows OS: 11 Pro w/ Windows updates.
Issues: 

• Users are unable to remove Skype for Business from their desktop by clicking “Uninstall” located on the Windows Start menu.
• Teams upgrade requires Skype for Business settings to be set manually via the Teams Admin Center.
• Using the PowerShell command: uninstall-package 'Microsoft Skype for Business MUI (English) 2016' to remove Skype for Business requires NuGet to be manually installed prior to performing a removal task or does not remove the application at all.   The odd thing about this is that the system recognizes that a 2016 edition of Skype for Business exists. 
  Note:  Microsoft Word reads with the following version number: Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2508 Build 16.0.19127.20082) 64-bit
• Granting and then revoking API permissions via Entra Admin center does not separate Skype for Business from the Microsoft 365 Business Professional installation. 
• Uninstalling Microsoft 365 Business Professional desktop apps only removes the Skype for Business app temporarily until reinstallation occurs.
