  1. This is the best response I have had to my questions because you list out steps to do, AND DO NOT FORCE YOU TO WATCH YOU TUBE VIDEOS THAT ARE JUST TO SATISFY THE EGO THE THOSE WHO POST THE VIDEOS. I am a former military officer who simply wants a step-by-step process to get rid of this WASTE OF COMPUTER MEMORY CALLED X-BOX.

    1. Thanks for the feedback, I too feel that this is the most elegant, straightforward way to uninstall those useless bundled Windows 10 apps.
