I used the script from Windows 10: Remove all default apps except specified ones.
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | where-object {$_.name –notlike "*store*","*windowscalculator*","*people*"} | Remove-AppxPackage
Got Error Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA.

Found solution here
My problem is, If MS do not want me to delete then I don't want to delete. But, if no one has any objection, then I want to delete. Becasue, who knows how many things will break.
So, I do not want to change database or use any hack. I want a script (hopefully an one liner), which will safely delete as much bloatware (Games, 3D Object.., sketch, XBox etc.) as possible.
If removing gives an error, no worries! skip and move to the next app and try to remove it.
