There are a lot of neat articles on the net about removing built-in apps by powershell but some of them are missing a neat powershell script.

This HowTo provides a straight forward powershell script to remove a specified  list of built-in apps.

useful powershell commands:

• Get-AppxPackage | fl name
• Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName
• Get-AppxPackage %PackageFullName% | Remove-AppxPackage
• Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online

The Powershell script is available as a free download in our Download Center.

Note: This script is provided as is.
