How to Uninstall Windows 10’s Built-in Apps
Windows 10 comes with a bunch of apps that you may find useful, and a few you will probably never need. Unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn't want you to uninstall Universal apps such as Money, Maps and People. But that doesn't mean you can't use a little ingenuity to delete them.
Before you uninstall or restore apps, make sure no other programs are running aside from Windows PowerShell.
1. Click the Cortana search field.
2. Type 'Powershell' into the field.
3. Right-click 'Windows PowerShell.' 
4. Select Run as administrator.
5. Click Yes. 
6. Enter a command from the below list for the program you wish to uninstall.
