Need help removing an Excel Yeoman Generated Add-In

Question

I generated an Excel Office-On-The-Web add-in using the Yeoman Generator. Every time I open a new workbook (Book1.xlsx) the add-in auto loads. Now I want to permanently delete the add-in.

But there is no add-in listed:

1. under Office Add-Ins in the Book1 workbook using: File > Add-ins > My Add-Ins (or Admin Managed)

2. in the registry as an "Open" branch in the path: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\Options

3. or in the Microsoft Admin Center (admin.microsoft.com) as a deployed app.

Tried the following to:

1. Delete an add-in that was deployed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/manage/manage-addins-in-the-admin-center?view=o365-worldwide

2. Delete an add-in from the directory: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Wef
   per How to remove/delete inserted Yeoman Excel Developer Add-ins?

3. Delete an add-in from the Microsoft Admin Center: admin.microsoft.com

I appreciate your help in removing that add-in. Thank you.

Hi there I think I got a solution to your problem:

1. Open-up excel and load a Blank workbook.
2. Go to File > Options > Add-ins and in the bottom of the window there should be a "Manage" section where in a drop down menu "Excel Add-ins" is selected. Example
3. Click on "Go..."
4. Uncheck the add-on that you want to remove and hit on OK.
5. Reboot excel and everything should be alright.
