.Reg text doc for uninstalling multiple programs??

[Mr.Twabfish]

Is there any way to uninstall a bunch of programs at once through a .reg text document?? I am looking to uninstall some of those annoying Windows 10 default apps through a "one click" file. (Get Started, Get Skype, Get Office, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Money, News, Phone Companion, Sports ect.) I understand it is probably quicker to just find and get rid of each program, but I want to have something on a flash drive, that I can plug into, say, a friend's PC that needs some extra storage space.

No. You need to use PowerShell.

Run as admin the PowerShell, and execute:

 

To uninstall Get Skype:

Get-AppxPackage *skypeapp* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get Started:

Get-AppxPackage *getstarted* | Remove-AppxPackage

I think you can start to see a pattern here on how it works.

 

So to make a nice script file:

1. Create "uninstall-apps.ps1" file
2. Open it with Notepad
3. Paste the following code:

   Get-AppxPackage *getstarted* | Remove-AppxPackage
   Get-AppxPackage *skypeapp* | Remove-AppxPackage
   Get-AppxPackage *officehub* | Remove-AppxPackage
   Get-AppxPackage *solitairecollection* | Remove-AppxPackage
   Get-AppxPackage *bingfinance* | Remove-AppxPackage
   Get-AppxPackage *windowsphone* | Remove-AppxPackage
   Get-AppxPackage *bingsports* | Remove-AppxPackage
   Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage

   The following script removes what is most likely useless for many here without breaking other apps, so: 3D Builder, Sports, Phone Companion, Finance, Solitaire, Get Office, Get Skype and Get Started.
   
   I recommend to keep Messaging, Phone, and People apps, as with Windows 10 Anniversary Update (or soon after), you'll be able to send/receive SMS and some notifications on your desktop/laptop.

Keep in mind that some apps can't be removed either.

 

Apps don't consume much space, so his problem isn't really that.

You can use this free software to find what consume the most, to better asses things:
