From PC World:
For the most part, Windows 10 makes uninstalling very easy, but not consistently so. Some of Microsoft’s own built-in apps appear to be impossible to remove. The good news is that you can remove them. It’s just that Windows doesn’t clearly show you how to do it.
[...]
Some—such as News, Money, and Get Office—can be uninstalled the usual way. Just right-click the tile, select Uninstall, and then confirm your choice by selecting Uninstall again.
But that doesn’t work with all of them. Right-click on Films & TV, Groove Music, or People, and there’s no uninstall option.
For these, use Piriform’s CCleaner. The free version will do.
Once you have the program ready, select Tools > Uninstall. Then select the unwanted app and click Uninstall.
One Windows 10 program you won’t find on CCleaner’s list is Edge. As near as I can tell, you can’t uninstall it. The best you can do is assign another browser as your default, and unpin it from your taskbar and Start menu. After that it won’t bother you.Good to see that Microsoft has learned nothing from their Internet Explorer experience. I get that pushing Edge, and the Bing search which it's married to, are a big part of Microsoft's corporate strategy going forward, but for users of Chrome and Firefox to be forced to keep Edge installed even though they have no intention of using it? Or to make their Groove Music media streaming app uninstallable? That's a slap in the face to consumers.
As a consumer, what I want is enough information to make informed choices about the products that I'll use, and the right to have those choices respected. Microsoft is all about denying me both of those things, though, which is why I'm gradually learning to hate everything about them, so the point of turning down a free* Windows 10 licence largely out of spite. GG, Microsoft. GG.
* It's not actually free. You're still paying, in the form of advertising on your lock screen and Start menu; you're just not being asked to pay up front.
