In the advanced section, component removal, checked all the MetroUI apps.

 

They appear to be removed, but then reappear again before I get chance to save the .wim

Have you tried the latest test build?

Update: I've just uploaded another test build which will hopefully fix the issue. As a side effect, it does reduce the size of the image but I'm sure no one will complain

I disable them using CMD:

dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:"C:\*\sources\install.wim" /index:* /MountDir:C:\*\offline

 dism /Image:C:\Users\78963\Desktop\offline /Get-Provisionedappxpackages (this gives you a list of the installed metro apps which are installed when a new user is created)

I disable them using cmd:
