Remove OneDrive using the uninstaller provided by Microsoft, its folder in Explorer sidebar will also be hidden.It also disables SmartScreen protection, as it sends sensitive data to Microsoft. Disable Windows Defender: disables the antivirus ( not the firewall) that comes pre-installed on the OS and removes its background services.Take note that the goal here is to provide a mindful balance that leans towards privacy, without sacrificing too much in terms of user experience. Tweak Windows settings for enhanced privacy: makes Windows more privacy-respectful by turning off certain system features that put your personal data at risk, such as inking/typing personalization, app launch tracking, clipboard/text messages synchronization, voice activation and some more.Remove system services: deletes - not just disables - the services specified by the user (see Configuration section below, option ServicesToRemove) after backing up their Registry keys, so that you can restore them if anything breaks.It also deletes the services which are responsible for data reporting to Microsoft. Disable OS telemetry: disables several Windows components that collect diagnostic and usage information such as Compatibility Telemetry, Inventory, Device Census, Customer Experience Improvement Program and others.Remove Microsoft Edge: uninstalls the newer Chromium-based Edge and the legacy UWP version of the browser, which are both pre-installed in recent versions of the OS.

When apps are uninstalled for all users, their corresponding provisioned packages are deleted too (if present), so that they won't get reinstalled for new users or after feature updates.
