Remove components of Office Professional Plus 2013

I've installed the stand-alone version of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 and entered my activation key. However, I'm not able to select which components I want to install. It seems all of them are installed automatically. How do I remove Access, OneNote, Upload Center, and Send to OneNote while keeping the rest? (I only want Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher.)

Please go to Control Panel > right-click this Office Professional Plus 2013 > "Change" option > check whether there is Remove option.

If yes, then you may choose the features you do not need to uninstall.

If there is no "Remove" option, just Quick Repair and Online Repair options like the image below, I suggest you refer to the following steps.

Step 1: Download the ODT for Office 2013 from Microsoft Download Center.

Step 2: To keep Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher, you may use the following .xml file. I named this file as "R13.xml" to do a test, and take the 64-bit version for an example. If you are using 32-bit, please replace "64" with "32".

 <Configuration> 
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64">
   <Product ID="ProPlusRetail" >
       <Language ID="en-us" />
       <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
       <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
       <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
       <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
       <ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />    
    </Product>
  </Add>
 </Configuration> 

Step 3: Run following commands to remove components for Office 2013.
cd: <ODT path>
setup.exe/ configure <.xml file name>

To disable Microsoft Upload Center, it's recommended to locate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15, rename ", rename MSOUC.EXE and MSOSYNC.EXE files.
