What I did was just try to remove some stuff, and it pops up when the script tries to remove it.

Happened to me, but it was a false positive.

Check back with the same settings that you did. Press the Run BAT file, follow the prompts, go to App removal mode (option 3). When the application selection window pops up, check "Only show installed apps" on the bottom right corner. Here you can see whether or not it remove the apps.

I personally noticed it deleted most of the apps I asked it to except for Microsoft Edge. Hope this somewhat helps.

Did this error pop up for every app?

Additionally, do you know if any apps actually remained? The instructions @geeneeva posted above are a great way to find out.

Hi, personally I just experienced this on every app except for OneDrive and MSTeams. I ran the script again to see installed applications like geeneeva said, and they were all properly removed. I ran the batch file as admin on Win10.

PS. I actually didnt see an option to unselect MSTeams on the app selector so it was uninstalled! I actually needed that one on my pc haha

Interesting. Thanks for the information @EliHedrick

@cheezypotatoes & @geeneeva are you guys running Windows 10 too?

[DmitryKashitsyn]

Hey, got the same issue on Win 10. Same errors for everything except OneDrive. Also deleted almost everything. Except it didn't delete the app "Speed" without throwing any errors. P.S. Great app btw, tyvm!

[Raphire]

@DmitryKashitsyn The plot thickens...

Thanks for the information. Seems like I'll have to do some testing with W10! 🙃

[geeneeva]

Yes, I'm running Windows10

Yeah

[Raphire]

Thanks all for confirming.

Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce it with my W10 machine. Does anybody know the exact errorcode that was thrown? A screenshot of the error would be very helpful.

Tried, got an error, it does everything fine, just shows an error. win 10 Error code: 0x80070002. .\Win11Debloat-master\Win11Debloat.ps1:348 знак:52

@sylvanuses Thanks that does narrow things down. In my quick search I do see multiple instances of people running into this in the past, but there's no clear indication what the root cause is.

What Windows version are you running? You can check by pressing Win + R and typing in winver

This will pop-up a window like this:

[bqback]

Same issue (even after filtering to only installed), same error message as sylvanuses, running the exact version (22H2, build 19045.4529) pictured in your screenshot. The erroneous entries did disappear from the list of installed apps, like they did for others in the thread.

[Raphire]

I've pushed an update to change the way apps are removed on Windows 10 systems.

This should prevent the issue, but I can't verify it myself as I'm unable to reproduce the error.

Keeping this issue open for now to monitor the situation.

[Raphire]

Closing this issue as there are no new reports of this since the fix issued in 2e967e5

If this issue does pop up again please feel free to reopen this issue or create a new one ;3
