  • Hi  SekharSiddu,

    For your issue, please go to Uninstall or change a program, make sure all the components of SharePoint  2013 are uninstalled and then perform a restart.

    Also I would advise doing a clean install of Windows and then install Office Web Apps.

    The below will still remain after you uninstall SharePoint 2013 from the control panel tool ,but you can manually delete them.

    1.  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15

    2. Microsoft SharePoint Workspace Audit Service

    3. SQL databases including Configuration and Central Administration

    4.SharePoint Web Services Web Application in IIS

    5.SharePoint Web Services Application Pool in IIS
