I wrote a script before on how to remove builtin apps in Windows 10 that was based on Ben Hunter’s script to do the same https://ccmexec.com/2015/08/removing-built-in-apps-from-windows-10-using-powershell/ As always, make sure you uninstall what you really need some apps can be reinstalled from the Store some are harder or impossible to get back.
