Attention!

  • This script is only for Office 2016 for Mac, tested on
    • version 15.16 (151105)
    • version 15.17 (151206)
  • Use at your own risk.
  • Read the code before you run.
  • Make sure all the 5 Office Apps are in the same version.

Usage

sudo bash -c "curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goodbest/OfficeThinner/master/OfficeThinner.sh | bash"
  • As Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac is installed with root on /Applications, you have to run this script with sudo.
  • The backup files are located at ~/Desktop/OfficeThinner, you can do whatever you like with them if everything is fine.
  • Everytime after you install Microsoft Office Updates, you may have to re-run this script.

Explain

Some large-sized duplicate files exist in Word.app, Excel.app, PowerPoint.app, Outlook.app and OneNote.app in Office 2016 for Mac.

It's wasting your precious HDD/SSD space as these files are just 5 duplicate copies in these apps.

This script moves the following duplicate files from Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote into a backup directory on your desktop (you may later delete them safely), and then soft link neccesary paths back to the real files in Word.app alone.

  • /Contents/Resources/Fonts (<=15.16)
  • /Contents/Resources/DFonts (>=15.17)
  • /Contents/SharedSupport/Proofing Tools
  • /Contents/Frameworks/MicrosoftOffice.framework/Versions/A/Resources
