Lync 2013 client silent uninstall prompts

I am trying to create a silent uninstall of the Lync 2013 client.  

I am getting the message "Are you sure you want to remove Microsoft Lync 2013 from your computer?
We've noticed you have other Office products that will remain installed after you uninstall this product.  We recommend you Repair these products from the Programs and features item in your Control Panel once you're done uninstalling."  

I am using a config.xml file <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" NoCancel="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

How can I disable the prompts during an uninstallation?

Hi,

You can try the Office command-line options /uninstall [ProductID] to uninstall Lync 2013 silently.

For example:

To run a silent uninstall 

1.Using a text editor, edit the following element attributes in the \\server\share\Office15\ProPlus.WW\SilentUninstallConfig.xml file:

<Configuration Product="ProPlus">

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

</Configuration>

2. At the command line, use the following syntax:

\\server\share\Office15\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config  \\server\share\Office15\ProPlus.WW\SilentUninstallConfig.xml

The ProPlus is the [ProductID], you can change it to the [ProductID] of Lync 2013 and then have a test.
