Uninstall Apps in Windows 10  

Hello @ziffel,

Unfortunately, some of the default apps that Windows uses cannot be uninstalled.

If you already uninstalled an app for your account, it also won't let you uninstall it for all users from within your account afterwards.

If you like, here are some more ideas below for freeing up hard drive space that may help.

This does not work: Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes* | Remove-AppxPackage

It appears to have uninstalled in PowerShell, but it is still present in the menu. PowerShell displays some information in light blue for maybe a second and then deletes it.

Does it still open Sticky Notes from the shortcut still in the Start menu?

If not, then you might see if signing out and in may clear it from the menu.

Hmm, I just tested the command on my system, and it still uninstalled Sticky Notes and removed it from the Start menu (All Apps list) for me.

What build do you have installed? Maybe it's a bug in that build.

You might see if using the all users option to uninstall "Sticky Notes" may work better for you.
