How to uninstall Microsoft UWP Apps from Powershell command prompt

There are many apps pre-installed in Windows that you didn't ask for, nor need. Not only that but they are all installed from the horrid Windows Store, not full desktop apps.
Here is a quite a good list of commands we can use to uninstall them. Comment if you  want any other apps adding to the list.

To remove applications, press the Windows + X keys, choose Command Prompt (admin).
When loading the prompt, type: powershell press enter.

Use one command at a time below to remove each of the desired applications.
