## Remove Built-In Apps
The cleanup script uninstalls selected Windows applications for the current user.
Use the Appx cleanup script when you want to remove selected built-in applications without winget and prevent them from being provisioned for newly created users.
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\powershell\Remove-BuiltInApps.ps1
```
OneDrive is not an Appx package on most Windows installations. To also call the built-in OneDrive uninstaller, pass `-IncludeOneDrive`:
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\powershell\Remove-BuiltInApps.ps1 -IncludeOneDrive
```
The older winget-based cleanup script is still available, but it only targets the current user:
```powershell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\powershell\Winget-Remove-BuiltInApps.ps1
```
Targeted applications include Xbox components, Outlook for Windows, Feedback Hub, OneDrive, Teams, Microsoft To Do, Bing apps, Clipchamp and related built-in packages.
