Customization :: How To Uninstall Apps Using Powershell

Many of the Universal Apps cannot be uninstalled because the button is inactive (grayed out). This might be 'by design' for the Technical Preview since Microsoft wants users to test the Apps.

The preferred method is to use the uninstall button when it is active. The list below provides a way to uninstall an App when the button is NOT active.

Launch an elevated PowerShell (Right click - Run as Administrator ...)

Copy the command for the App you want to remove from the list below and paste it into the PowerShell window

Example:

To remove the Calculator App, copy the entire line under the App name

Calculator

Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1505.29000.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

The -Confirm parameter lets you to decide if you want to remove the App [ Yes ] or cancel the operation [ No ]

Code:

Alarms
Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_10.1505.12000.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Calculator
Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1505.29000.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Camera
Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.WindowsCamera_5.31.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
