    @Vinod Survase Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

    For this issue, I have done a lot of resarch. I found someone provided a method to remove unwanted apps via intune.

    Note: Non-Microsoft link, just for the reference.

    You can edit the script just as you want.

    Hope it will give you some ideas.

    Uninstallation command lines must be figured out manually, unless you are updating. For Windows, lot of apps still uses MSI mechanizm beneath, so msiexec /x with product code should be valid for most of apps. Alternative method is to seek for uninstall.exe file present in install folder and handle uninstallation command and assignement this way.
