Overview
This category includes scripts to uninstall MSN (sometimes branded as "Bing" or just "Microsoft") applications from Windows.
MSN apps come bundled with Windows and provide users with information from various domains such as weather, sports, news, and finance. While they offer easy access to curated content right from the desktop, not all users find them essential.
If users prefer other sources or tools for this information, they might wish to uninstall these default apps to declutter their system.
