Line 30, the *s around .NET are not necessary and break the removal portion of the script.
With the -NoMatch operator on the following lines (31-33), it is already matching parts of strings in the $WhitelistedApps string. The *s are NOT wildcards in the context of PowerShell -Match or -NoMatch regex.
If you wanted to, you cold change the -Match to a -Like, which uses simplified Powershell regex language, where the *s are wildcards, and where partial string matching is not already implied.
Otherwise, just remove the *s around .NET and that should fix the script.
