Can someone tell me which apps and system apps are safe to be removed? After I removed the NET.Native and VCLibs apps the Calculator, Photos and Store apps are not running.

If you load the last preset i uploaded for you, you will see, all .NET and VCLibs are kept.
Go to Components - [toolbar]Compatibility and check 'Core Metro Components' to protect the necessary components.

Hi,
Kasual started a good thread about this, "Is it 'Safe to remove'?". Maybe this can help you.

I didn't know. I'll check it.

Like I told you before, I have problems with many presets and I'm not able to install Windows. Ok, but there are core metro components that may be safe to remove since I don't use them. Is it safe to remove the Store Purchase app? Will I be able to run the Store app?

EDIT: I didn't remove the NET.Native and VCLibs apps with MSMG ToolKit and the Store and Photos apps aren't running (and are in English and not in my native language), anyway.

EDIT 2: Kasual only talks about some apps, not all of them, so I don't know which ones I have to keep in order to not have any problems.

Advertising.Xaml
NET.Native.Framework
NET.Native.Runtime
Services.Store.Engagement
VCLibs

those are dependencies packs, you do not need remove them at all
once all Apps that depends on are removed, so they

besides, they are very small size
 
What do the Advertising.Xaml and Service.Store.Engagement apps do? Kasual in the other thread didn't mention them. I think I can load those (Store, Calculator, Edge, Photos) apps without the Advertising.Xaml and Service.Store.Engagement apps installed.
