      REM Currently MS doesn't allow to uninstall Cortana using the above step claiming it's a required OS component (hah!)
      REM We will have to rename the Cortana App folder (add ".bak" to its name), but this can be done only if Cortana is not running.
      REM The issue is that when Cortana process (SearchUI) is killed, it respawns very quickly
      REM So the following code needs to be quick (and it is) so we can manage to rename the folder
      taskkill /F /IM SearchUI.exe

          Just found the answer to my question above. you can replace lines 4 and 5 with the following and it will remove everything but windows store and the calculator app:

          Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | where-object {$_.name -notlike "*Microsoft.WindowsStore*"} | where-object {$_.name -notlike "*Microsoft.WindowsCalculator*"} | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online | where-object {$_.packagename -notlike "*Microsoft.WindowsStore*"} | where-object {$_.packagename -notlike "*Microsoft.WindowsCalculator*"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online

            It seems odd that the calculator would be part of that system.
