Windows 10: Uninstall pre-not-installed Spotify, WhatsApp, etc.

Hello everyone,on a clean Windows 11 installation is a lot of bloatware, which in some weird state - it's there, but it's not installed:If I right click on "Spotify", there is "Uninstall", but the app is not listed anywhere:The same is, when I use PowerShell to list all apps - it's not there.Command "Get-AppxPackage *Spo*" returns nothing.I'm looking for a way, how to remove this bloatware using script - ideally PowerShell, but probably any other script would be also acceptable :-It's about Spotify, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Kindle apps.Thank you very much in advance.Best regards,Jan

Spotify

I have just discovered two Spotify entries in the StartUp list in Task Manager.
However there is no trace of Spotify elsewhere in the system.
I went through the registry and deleted every reference to Spotify that could find, although some refused to be deleted.
That made no difference.
The store shows that Spotify is installed. Which is strange.
However I found an entry in the Apps list in Start Menu, clicked uninstall and that cleared the problem.

 

Pre-loaded games won't uninstall

I'm not really into some of the games that were pre-loaded into my PC but when I try to bring up the games from the Start menu and click on 'uninstall' it takes me to the control panel, and I don't see the games listed there for me to uninstall. Suggestions, please? Thanks! ~P

 

Can't uninstall Spotify

Hi!

I downloaded the troubleshooter and ran it. Had to choose a program to uninstall from a list. Spotify was not in that list. There was a program that wasn't displayed with it's proper name in the list (Name not availible). I choosed that program to continue.
Next I had two choises, try to uninstall the program or continue with others solutions. Since the list in the troubleshooter doesn't match the list of programs to uninstall in control panel/Settings-Apps-Uninstall I couldn't be sure what program it was I instructed
the troubleshooter to uninstall so I tried to continue with other solutions. Then the troubleshooter ended with no problems found. The flow and end result is the same regardless if I choose to troubleshoot uninstall or install problems.

EDIT:

I now checked Settings-Apps-Uninstall one more time and now Spotify was there! I uninstalled it, And after the uninstall it's not listed in Autostart in Task Manager. Great result! All that's left now as far as I can see is the two empty folders and a small
