Product: Pavilion 15-ab254sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I've just bought a new laptop and so I'm going through the usual set-up process of removing all the pre-installed bloatware. Most I've been able to do either by right-clicking the tile and selecting 'uninstall', or by using the Powershell 'Remove-appxpackage' command. This seems to have worked in most cases, but I cannot get rid of a booking.com app and something called Flipboard. Right-clicking the tile simply brings up the 'uninstall' routine from the settings (control panel) with no clue as to what program I should uninstall.

 

I've now unpinned all the tiles so I've cleared the start menu - but booking.com still comes up in the apps menu under 'B'

 

How can I delete these stubborn apps?  (And the windows 10 email client as well which refuses to die!)
