Windows Central Question

Windows 10 keeps creating "albums" for me that are totally useless, and then it's hard to find the photos I'm looking for. I want out of this mess completely, but can't figure out how to stop it from making albums, or how to get rid of the app. Help, please.

Go to Cortana on your Taskbar and type in Powershell.

Right click on the Desktop App result and select Run as Administrator. Let Powershell load up and give you a prompt.

Code:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

At the prompt type in

Code:
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Segoe UI]Get-AppxPackage *photo* | Remove-AppxPackage[/FONT][/COLOR]

Press enter. Allow the command to process.

Enjoy.
