Removing Built-in Apps

I don't have an Xbox & so I do not need the Xbox App or its related packages.
Problem is, I am having a hard time removing the App & its related packages.

These are the steps I have gone through, in both my Local Administrator & Local Standard accounts.
1. I opened PowerShell as Administrator.
2. Typed "Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online | Select PackageName" (w/o quotes) to get a list of installed Apps.
3. I typed each command below, pressing Enter after each command:

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxSpeechToTextOverlay* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxApp* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.Xbox.TCUI* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay* | Remove-AppxPackage

I didn't get any messages (successful or error) after each Enter, so I thought all was well.
But after I reboot & check through Powershell, the Xbox App & all related packages are still on the computer.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
