Use to see all the windows store apps currently installed

Get-AppxPackage | %{if ($.name -match "Yourpackageofchoice.") {$ | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers}}

By default it installs Adobe Reader, firefox, chrome teamviewer quicksupport and winrar.

Ideas

Maybe a downloader? So instead of just downloading and dumping a load of scripts in c:\ it would just download those files and delete them afterwards

Choose which bloatware to delete

Warning

Don't use this on an old install. It will break stuff

I'm not responsible for broken installs.
