Windows 10: How can I remove windows built in apps for all users?

We recently upgraded our systems from Windows 10 LTSC 2019 1809 to Windows 10 Education 22H2.When we opened the start menu we can see the Microsoft Store and the built in apps are added. The PowerShell script works but only for one user not all so that means we have to individually have to log on to each account to remove them. We have tried adding -allusers to the script but it doesn't work. Is there anyway to remove these apps for all users at the same time. We would like to keep a few apps. The apps are: Calculator, Mail & calendar, Snip & Sketch & Photos.
