This commit fixes the issue where the Microsoft Advertising app fails to be removed using the standard script. The problem is due to Microsoft Advertising SDK (`Microsoft.Advertising.Xaml`) acting as a framework package. Such packages are automatically installed when a specific application requires them, and they cannot be individually removed if there are applications that depend on them. The only way to effectively remove this library is by uninstalling the dependent applications. Key findings: - On Windows 11 22H2, the issue does not arise as the package does not exist. - On Windows 10 22H2, the user is prompted to delete dependent applications, like MSN Weather and Mail And Calendar apps. Once these apps are removed, the Microsoft Advertising app is automatically removed. Given the nuances and potential for confusion, this script is removed. This means that the app will no longer be removed directly but will be handled as part of the removal of its dependencies.
