Windows 10: Please help me get rid of the Facebook app!

I foolishly installed the facebook beta app from the Windows 10 store,now I'm getting popups notifying me of posts in Facebook and I find that really annoying. I've tried blocking notifications in Chrome and Torch browser, manually deleting anything relating to Facebook from inside the Windowsapps folder but I still get those damn notifications! GRRRR!!! Under the apps and features section in the settings menu, the Facebook beta app is still listed but can't be removed, trying to uninstall it gives me an 0x80073cfa error. I even tried removing the app with PowerShell and I got an error. How the bloody hell do I rid myself of this thing?

PLEASE HELP ME GET RID OF A WINDOWS APP!!

I want to have my photos ALL go to photoshop elements 15, and some can; however, some are still hung up with that view slide show and I can't get at them to fit them into the book I am writing and need them for. When I scan them with my Canon Scanner
they again get hung up, but I will work on that and see if I can wrest my scanner away from the VERY DESTRUCTIVE windows app.

Hey Les. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps, under Photo Viewer choose Photoshop app you installed.

This should cover it. If not let us know.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
