PowerShell to remove built-in Windows 8 apps?
There are the PowerShell commands Get-AppxPackage
and Remove-AppxPackage
that allow you to remove Metro apps. However, they don't seem to show the built-in apps.
I don't use Mail, People, Messaging, Calendar, News, Sports, and some other built-in apps.
Is there any way I can write a script to uninstall these instead of manually right-clicking on each one?
You can find a script here:
