You can uninstall it from apps. One bit of cruft with this - I downloaded an alternative app that is simply notepad.exe and put it in my path in the first folder in the path. I could not create a file association to any files to it - Explorer would throw an error about Store app. Even after uninstalling it, a notepad.exe still remains and supercedes my path which is a stub to launch the Microsoft Store. This is the type of slop that needs desperately fixed but I doubt ever will.
