Uninstalling an AppX package will remove it from the current user’s start menu and applications list, but it will continue to appear for other users unless the AppX provisioned package is also removed.
This script should be run in an Administrative PowerShell. It loops through a comma-separated list of AppX package names and (a) removes each package for the current user and (b) removes any corresponding AppXProvisioned package (when found). Clone or download this script from GitHub where it is licensed under the GPL 2.0.
