Creators Update installed. Now, how do I delete NEW default crap apps?

I seriously hate how windows is going. I used that PowerShell command earlier in builds to remove all the bloatware MS installed on my rig, however, some new "3D" apps have appeared. Any ideas on how to remove them?
 
Right click, uninstall. Or Programs and features.
 
Right click on Start -> Apps and Features
 
The new MS ones are not able to be uninstalled. And, they apparently grow in size. 8kb yesterday became this:

This one also grew overnight

Use powershell as admin, first command to get the names of the app then the second command replacing "PackageFullName" with the one you wish to remove
Code: 
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers

Remove-AppxPackage "PackageFullName"
 
That I did. It removes all pre creator update apps, but the new ones are unable to be uninstalled. Sneaky MS.
 
Creator Update isn't gold until the 11th. I suspect not long after that, someone will find a way to remove them.
 
Its actually gold right now, final build, MS is waiting till Patch Tuesday.
