You can't remove Windows Recall making it mandatory feature

Microsoft says the ability to uninstall Windows Recall is just a bug, but you'll still be able to turn it off.

The feature, which isn't expected to launch in preview until October, was postponed earlier this year after backlash from users. Microsoft senior product manager Brandon LeBlanc told The Verge that the company is"aware of an issue where Recall is incorrectly listed as an option under the ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ dialog in Control Panel. While Recall is expected to launch in preview this October, it likely won't begin shipping officially until sometime in 2025.
