Because the Linux version of the Teams application is supplied as a .deb file, the installation is registered in your package manager. Note, however, that as part of the installation process, Microsoft also added a software source (PPA) for Teams. That ensures that you automatically receive updates.

The package is named teams. You can see this in the output of the command dpkg -l *team*. Remove it using

sudo apt remove teams

You can remove the added PPA using the "Software & Updates", "Other Software" tab, or using the terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:repos/ms-teams

From the site https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/teams => the snap solution worked for me, apt and dpkg didn't.

snap remove --purge teams or snap remove --purge teams-for-linux

Solution for this issue, you need to rename the Microsoft Teams folder in config directory under /home/user.

Full path .config/Microsoft/Microsoft Teams

In an older version of Ubuntu Like mine, I use the following line.

sudo rm -r {the directory of where you installed the "team"}

It depends on How you install it. If you install from Microsoft Website, .deb then it is easily uninstalled with the above line. If you installed using Wine but using the .exe. file then you need to do something About the Wine

wine uninstall

** I used an old version, It might work for you and probably not. Hope this help

If none of the other answers work for you, then check if you've installed one of the later versions via flatpak.

$ flatpak list
Name                    Application ID
...
Microsoft Teams         com.microsoft.Teams
...

If this is the case, you can uninstall it with:

flatpak uninstall com.microsoft.Teams
