Cool! Btw, what exactly is the signature block for?
It's a signature using my EV code signing certificate just so it can run on computers with stricter PowerShell execution policies such as AllSigned. For example if you right click it you'll see a "Digital Signatures" tab in the properties window. For most people it's not necessary but the certificate was really expensive so I try to use it whenever I can lol.
Can read a bit more about it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_signing?view=powershell-7.3
Just use Get-AppxPackage | Out-GridView -PassThru | Remove-AppxPackage which opens a GUI list where you can select apps to remove. There's also Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers and Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage which are required in some cases to actually delete the apps and free up space.
