This procedure is highly unusual. In most cases, simply "trashing" the app - as found in your Applications folder - is adequate, and you won't encounter problems. However, even with less obtrusive apps than Office:mac, there may be "left-overs." Usually they don't hurt, in the case of Office:mac they do, apparently. And when they don't hurt, it also doesn't hurt to get rid of them.
Enter the free AppCleaner. If I drag-drop MS Office:mac on the AppCleaner, it shows the files related to that app.
This would have saved you quite a bit of work, but the main reason I use AppCleaner is to find out where files may be hidden. Drag-drop the app on the AppCleaner, look up the "hidden" files, and then don't hit Delete.
Cheers,
Hans
