    "PowerShell -Command "

    Is that the right thing? Or is that just the normal PowerShell?

    A .bat file runs in the command prompt environment: cmd.exe. From a command prompt you can run the normal powershell. If you type powershell in a command prompt window it runs poweshell until you type 'exit' to close powershell.

    Each line in your .bat file is calling powershell and passing a command line for it to execute. If you run the .bat in a 'Command Prompt (Admin)' it should also run the powershell commands as administrator (which is required for them to work).

    This is the same as right clicking and running as admin.

    That should work too. The point is the .bat has to run in an elevated command processor in order to be able to run powershell at an elevated level.

    This is one of your lines...
    Code:
    PowerShell -Command "Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like "*CandyCrushSodaSaga*"} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online"
    I copied it, saved it to a .bat and tried to run it. I got errors too. In fact, there are two problems.

    First, look very carefully at each occurrence of –online. That is not a 'minus' sign (as it should be) at the beginning, It should look like this : -online (note the almost imperceptible difference between the – and - characters). I'm not surprised you didn't spot it. Just find and replace all – with - and it will work. (There's also a wrong – before like.)

    It looks like this problem may be in the code lines as copied from @Brink's tutorial,

    The second problem is the use of the " quotes character. You have put quotes around the command to pass to powershell, but the command itself uses the " quotes character around the *packagename* bit. As written in your command line, only the part of the command between the first pair of quotes is passed to powershell. Effectively the command is interpreted as...
    PowerShell -Command "Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like "
    ...the remainder of the line is being ignored.

    To correct that you need to use two different 'quote' delimiters. Use ' instead of " around each *packagename*.

    So, a working (and tested) version of your line above with both errors corrected is...
    Code:
    PowerShell -Command "Get-appxprovisionedpackage -online | where-object {$_.packagename -like '*CandyCrushSodaSaga*'} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage -online"
    nb. don't forget to run the .bat as Administrator.

    OK! I got it working.

    Some of them had this line appear under the code and some didn't. Is that a problem?

    No, it is normal.

    If something was removed you get it. If it wasn't (for example you try to remove a package that doesn't exist) you don't.

    You could consider deleting the junk from %appdata% as well. This is what I do:
    PHP Code:
            ForEach ($app in $apps) {    
                    Write-Host "Removing " -noNewLine; Write-Host $app -f white

                    # Need to hide the progress bar as otherwise it remains on the screen            
                    $ProgressPreference="SilentlyContinue"
                
                    Get-AppxPackage -Name $app -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

                $ProgressPreference    ="Continue"

                    Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online |
                        where DisplayName -EQ $app |
                        Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online
                        
                $appPath    ="$Env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\$app*"
                    Remove-Item $appPath -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction 0            
                }

    This is something new. What does it do specifically? Is that complete?
