Remove-AppxPackage for all users

Question

I would like to remove the Fitbit package from the Microsoft Store apps in Window 10. I have -allusers in the Powershell command but it's telling me Fitbit isn't in the current user. I don't care what user it's in. I would like to find out why it won't remove it from all users. I'm running this as Administrator with a user that has Administrator rights.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppxPackage -allusers fitbit | Remove-AppxPackage Remove-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF1, Package was not found. Windows cannot remove Fitbit.FitbitCoach_4.4.133.0_x64__6mqt6hf9g46tw because the current user does not have that package installed. Use Get-AppxPackage to see the list of packages installed. NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 8a315047-822f-0000-d65f-318a2f82d501 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID 8a315047-822f-0000-d65f-318a2f82d501 At line:1 char:38 + Get-AppxPackage -allusers fitbit | Remove-AppxPackage + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Fitbit.FitbitCo...__6mqt6hf9g46tw:String) [Remove-AppxPackage], PSInval idOperationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DeploymentError,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.RemoveAppxPackageCommand

Solution

You need to specify -AllUsers with Remove-AppxPackage. You also need to be in Windows 10 1809 or above for it to work. Below that version, "remove-appxpackage -allusers" may run without error and still not work. Confusingly, the allusers parameter to get-appxpackage has no effect on remove-appxpackage. This will only affect profiles that already exist. "Remove-AppxPackage -User" has never worked.

 Get-AppxPackage -allusers fitbit* | Remove-AppxPackage -allusers

Or

Remove-AppxPackage Fitbit.FitbitCoach_4.4.133.0_x64__6mqt6hf9g46tw -AllUsers

Thank you, I ran it. I didn't get an error so I assume it ran. When I run sysprep I get an error saying: SYSPRP Package Fitbit.FitbitCoach_4.4.133.0_x64__6mqt6hf9g46tw was installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image.

Sounds like it didn't work. Is it windows 10 1809 or above? You might have to login as that user and remove it.

I have two users plus Administrator. I have logged in under all three and ran:

I have two users plus Administrator. I have logged in under all three and ran: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Fitbit.FitbitCoach | Remove-AppxPackage -allusers and I also ran: Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | where Displayname -EQ "Fitbit.FitbitCoach" | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online to remove the provision. Running in Windows 10 1903. I'm still getting the same error: SYSPRP Package Fitbit.FitbitCoach_4.4.133.0_x64__6mqt6hf9g46tw was installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image.

It usually says in the PackageUserInformation property who has it installed.
