I am trying to uninstall SharePoint 2016 as it is consuming a lot of RAM (Requires 16 gb and I have only 8 gb of RAM). I want to install SharePoint 2013 on my system. But, whenever I am trying to uninstall it, I am getting one message as: "One or more required office components failed to complete successfully. For more information, consult the setup log file". I don't know, why this error message is coming. I checked some features like Configuration Wizard are still existing. Kindly, let me know how to remove SharePoint 2016 completely so that I can do a fresh installation of SharePoint 2013.

Thanks,

Purushottam

    SharePoint 2013 will struggle on 8GB unless you’re doing development work only, and even then, it’s not worth it.

Refer this link to uninstall SharePoint - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/uninstall-sharepoint-server-2016

  1. Take note to remove the language packs completely as well
  2. I would also suggest to go for a reboot of the machine and then rerun the uninstall from the control panel.
  3. Take a look at the setup log as well.
  4. If none of the above works you can format the drive and reinstall the OS if you have the image handy .

  • Hi! Thank you for your suggestion. Actually, I just stopped all the SQL services in services.msc and the issue got resolved.
