This could happen if the installation process did not complete when you tried to install a new program or the uninstall process did not go through as expected. Or it is quite possible that the previously installed Office program installation files have got corrupted.

If you cannot uninstall Office, use the following tools.

3] Office Uninstall Support Tool

Download the Microsoft Office Uninstall Tool from Microsoft. Run the o15-ctrremove.diagcab, and it will launch the uninstaller. Use it to completely remove your Office installation.

4] Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant

Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant will help you uninstall Office programs as well as resolve Office 365 apps, Outlook, OneDrive, Windows, Dynamics 365 & other problems.

5] Microsoft Fix it

Use Microsoft Fix it to uninstall Office. But first, check if it applies to your version of Windows and Office installation.

Download Fix-It to Uninstall: Office 2003 | Office 2007 | Office 2010.

You can also use this Troubleshooter from Microsoft that lets you completely uninstall the latest Office or Office 365 version from Windows 10/8/7.

Do note that Microsoft no longer supports the use of the Windows Installer Cleanup utility.

6] RipOutOffice2007

If you are using Office 2007, you could try this utility called RipOutOffice2007. Create a system restore point first before using this software. RipOutOffice2007 is a 3rd party freeware tool to completely uninstall & remove Office 2007 from your PC when the standard uninstall process fails. But it appears from the comments that this tool does not work in Windows 7 properly.
