I ran the script through copilot, gemini, and chatGPT.
all of them state this script will not remove anything.
I'm looking for something that removes every piece of software (from those provisioned by intune) with extreme prejudice from any device.
In all fairness it should be a feature of windows
I would even go as far as saying an end user should be allowed to sue an OEM for providing preinstalled software
