PART 1: Remove a Specific Built-in App in Windows 10
You can take help of Get-AppxPackage and Remove-AppxPackage commands to uninstall/remove built-in apps in Windows 10.
Get-AppxPackage command can be used to get a list of all installed modern apps in your computer. Remove-AppxPackage command is used to remove an app from Windows 10 computer.
If you want to remove an app, these commands will require an essential information about that app i.e. PackageFullName (the full package name of the modern app).
So first we’ll need to get the PackageFullName of our desired modern app which we want to remove from our computer.
1. Just run following command in PowerShell to get a list of all installed apps:
Get-AppxPackage
This command will output a long list of all installed apps containing lots of information about each app. But we only need the PackageFullName information of our desired app, so run following filtered command:
Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName
This command will show only the name of the app and its PackageFullName information. Now the output will be easy to read and understand.
2. Now select the PackageFullName information of your desired app and press Enter key to copy it to clipboard.
3. Now to remove the app from your computer, you’ll need to run following command:
Get-AppxPackage PackageFullName | Remove-AppxPackage
In above mentioned command, replace PackageFullName with the copied information from step 2. You can also take help of wildcards (such as *) to make the PackageFullName parameter easy to type.
For example, if you want to remove 3DBuilder app, the command to remove it will be as following:
Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage
