How to fix Error code 30029 during Office Uninstallation?
There might be
a time when you want to uninstall a version of Office or one of its
applications from your device. But you cannot do so because of certain
technical issues with the program. In this situation, you might come across
various kinds of error messages such as “Office cannot be installed” or error
messages may show up on your screen. One of the commonly faced error messages
is “Error code 30029”. Although restarting the device may help at times, it will
not help you always.
To get rid of
this error, I am sharing a workaround by following which you might get rid of
the issue. Repairing the settings of Office is one of the best things you can
do in such a scenario. Before we move on to discuss the steps of doing so,
users should note that after completing the workaround they should restart the
computer otherwise you will get zero results from the fix.
The users, who
are using other operating systems, should look for some other suitable
workarounds as this are only helpful for the Windows 10 users:

on the “Start” button. (Usually available at the lower-left of the screen)

From the Start menu, click on the “Apps&
Features” tab.
3.
From this menu, tap on the Office version or app
you wish to repair.
4.
After this, select the “Modify” option that is
visible on the screen.
5.
Now you will see two options according to the
copy of Office you are having; “Click-to-run” or “MSI-based install”.
6.
Do one of the following:
a)
If your copy is “Click-to-run”, then you have to
select the “Online Repair” button. Doing this will repair the corrupted file
present on your system and you can move ahead.
b)
If the copy of the Office on your system is
“MSI-based”, then select the “Repair” button. After this, you have to click on
the “Continue” button and follow some on-screen instructions to complete the
process.
