I install office preview on Mac, and Outlook just keep crashing every time I start.
So I uninstall office preview, reinstall the old Outlook for Mac that I had (which was working).
But when I start, it still crashes. So I assume it is caused by some setting changes I had from Office preview.
I tried removing /Users/Mike/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346H9.Office but that does not help.
Is there anything I should do in order to clean unremove office (remove all my setting and stuff)?

A broken Microsoft font cache can prevent Office apps playing nicely, you can use Onyx to fix this for you.
If that doesn't help, here are the locations of files you need to remove Office from your system:
/Users/Mike/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Users/Mike/Library/Caches/Microsoft/Office/Users/Mike/Library/Preferences/ByHost/MicrosoftRegistrationDB.xxxxx/Users/Mike/Library/Preferences/[all items beginning with com.microsoft]/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/[all items except Silverlight if you want to keep it]/Library/Preferences/[all items beginning with com.microsoft]/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper/Applications/[all MS items you want to remove]
That's it as far as I can remember, don't think there are any hidden nasties - but again, Onyx can help here by showing hidden items.
