## What it is
Bloatbox is a small standalone Windows Forms application for uninstalling pre-installed Windows 10 UWP apps (bloatware). It also supports a community package of PowerShell scripts for advanced tasks like reinstalling built-in apps, removing OneDrive, and blocking telemetry.

## Use cases
- remove pre-installed apps from windows 10
- uninstall uwp bloatware apps
- clean up windows 10 default apps
- uninstall onedrive from windows 10
- unpin start menu tiles
- block windows telemetry via firewall and hosts

## When to choose
- you want a simple GUI to uninstall specific Windows 10 UWP apps
- you want a lightweight standalone debloat tool rather than a full tweak suite
- you want optional PowerShell scripts for deeper debloating tasks

## When to avoid
- you need to debloat Windows 11 or other Windows versions with full support
- you prefer scriptable/CLI-only debloating tools
- you need an actively developed project with frequent updates
