What version of SharePoint you had installed? May be some traces are still left you can use the OFFSCRUB to completely uninstall Office related products. <br />

Thanks Harish.<br />
<br />
I had SharePoint 2010. I will look into OFFSCRUB. Thanks for the pointer.

Hello again Harish,<br />
<br />
I did some research and found that OFFSCRUB is a client side tool. There is talk of a server side tool but I could not find any links to it. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, I stopped the Claims to Windows Token Service service and the event log errors have stopped. I will have to look into the Claims to Windows Token Service service to see if other programs need it operational. <br />
<br />
Thanks

I uninstalled SharePoint and began getting this error every two or three minutes in the Application Event Viewer:<br />
<br />
&quot;WTS event id 0 <br />
<br />
Service cannot be started. System.Configuration.Confi<wbr />gurationEr<wbr />rorsExcept<wbr />ion: The value of the property 'value' cannot be parsed. The error is: Some or all identity references could not be translated. (C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5\c2wtshost.<wbr />exe.Config<wbr /> line 17)...&quot;<br />
<br />
The error goes on for several more paragraphs. If you need the rest of the error, I will post it.<br />
<br />
I had been getting &quot;Event 5586 (SharePoint Foundation) of severity 'Error' occurred xx more time(s) and was suppressed in the event log&quot; many times in a day. Showing an event id 2159 and a task category 59. &nbsp;We didn't need SharePoint installed so I uninstalled it. The WTS error began soon thereafter.<br />

Thanks,
