Deleting Microsoft Office from Windows 10

First off Windows 10 is a steaming pile of S*** I can't emphasis that enough. I'm trying to clean up my system and delete bloatware etc. I have no interest in Microsoft Office and tired of it popping up . I have Apache Open Office and have no desire to sign up for Microcraps "service". There is an uninstall link in the start up menu but when I click it doesn't show up on the uninstall list. Can I just delete the program folder and clean my registry?

    Office Removal Tool
    If standard uninstall doesn't work, Microsoft provides an official removal tool. Search for "Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant" on Microsoft's website.
    Important: Avoid manually deleting program folders or registry entries, as this can cause system instability and leave behind orphaned files. The built-in uninstall methods will properly clean up all associated files and registry entries.
    If Office apps aren't appearing in your uninstall list, they might be pre-installed Windows 10 apps, which require PowerShell commands to remove safely."
