It is logical that Microsoft want to lengthen your shadow on the terminals (mobile, portable or desktop) with Windows 10However, as users we may not be very happy with the fact that so many services are integrated into the system from the factory if we do not plan to use them and, above all, if they are occupying a certain space in the memory of the equipment. There are different ways of uninstall said native software. Here we tell you how.
Despite that Windows 10 and their predecessors are quite "standard" operating systems in terms of customization options (in fact some manufacturers, like huawei, have complained about it), there is a certain margin for companies when installing bloatware, maintaining, yes, the interface as Microsoft provides it. In this case, the unwanted software is easy to remove, but it is much more complicated (in fact, we must resort to commands) to kill Microsoft signed services.
The simple way, for manufacturer bloatware
To delete the typical applications that each manufacturer includes, the procedure is really simple: Click on the button Home > All applications and on those that are left over, we make a long press or we click with the right mouse button. We give to uninstall and that's it.
Delete Microsoft apps, things get complicated
The first thing we should point out is that there are tools such as Cortana o Edge that they will not be able to be erased from Windows 10 in any way. However, associated services such as Get Skype, Get Office or OneNote do allow us that option.
To delete any of these applications we must do a search in the bottom bar. We wrote PowerShell and it should come out as the first result. Similarly, we need to do a long press with the finger or click the right mouse button and enter Execute as an administrator. We must accept the message that appears and from that moment start working with commands.
Commands for each application
We are giving you the text that you must copy and paste (or write) to delete each of the apps.

How to restore them
If after a while we want return these applications to our tablet or PC with Windows 10, we just have to carry out the same procedure (enter PowerShell as administrator) and write the following command:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$ ($ _. InstallLocation) \ AppXManifest.xml”}
We will have it all again like at the beginning.
