Windows 10: Need Help Removing Windows Sandbox from Win11 Home.

As the title suggests, I attempted to install Windows Sandbox on my Win11 Home laptop via CMD. Although I managed to install it, it does not seem to run, and I have yet to been able to get it to run. I've just decided to give up and delete Sandbox but disabling it via the "turn windows features on and off" does not seem to do anything; the app is still present after a restart. If there is any way I can fully remove the program, I would appreciate it.
