  1. Open the Start Menu and type Powershell. When you see Windows PowerShell app in search results right click it and choose Run as administrator. This is extremely important, and you must run Windows PowerShell as administrator or this process won’t be successful.
  2. When the Windows PowerShell window opens you need to type the following command, in order to see what bundled apps you have installed :
    • Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers
  3. You’ll get a list of all bundled apps, and now you need to find name of the application you want to remove. Keep an eye for PackageFullName value, because you’ll need it for you want to remove an app. For example, if you want to remove Solitare Collection app, the PackageFullName value of this app would be:
    • Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection_3.2.7240.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
  4. Now to remove Solitare Collection app for example you would need to type:
    • Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection_3.2.7240.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    • to remove it. General formula for deleting bundled apps is:
    • Remove-AppxPackage PackageFullName value
    • so you’ll need to keep a close eye on PackageFullName values of the apps you want to remove.

That’s it, this is how you delete individual bundled apps on Windows 10. As you can see, it’s not too hard, you just need to know PackageFullName value of the app you want to remove.
