How do I remove all traces of Office 2010 from my computer?

I downloaded the trial version of office 2010. I decided not to buy it and used the Uninstall/Change program to remove it.
I continually receive update notices for it. Additionally, I have Windows 7 64-bit Home OS and receive updates for 32-bit versions.

How do I remove all traces of Office 2010 and stop getting notices for 32-bit stuff I don't want?

TIA

Here are some other ways you can uninstall Office, starting with a manual approach. I think you will have to uninstall the updates individually.

Manually uninstall the 2007 Office system if you cannot uninstall it by using the "Add or Remove Programs" feature - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218 (%temp%)

For 2010 clean up procedure remains the same, just have to make some number substations:

Change all references to Office suites:
Office 2002 = Office 10.0
Office 2003 = Office 11.0
Office 2007 = Office 12.0
Office 2010 = Office 14.0

The best way to clean the  %temp% folder is after a reboot, so if you are planning to reboot, hold off on that step or repeat the %temp% cleanup after reboot

·         open the run window:  <win>< R>   (or the Start Menu search window)

·         type %temp%,

·         press <ENTER>,

·         Windows Explorer opens in the TEMP folder

·         Select all files: <CTL> <A>

·         <Delete>

·         For any files in use, just SKIP them

·         For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, click Start, click Run, type %AllUsersprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data, and then click OK.
