To uninstall a bundle, find the bootstrapper's entry under "Programs and Features" (ARP) and uninstall it from there. (If you want to know the command, search for the displayed text in the registry and look at the associated UninstallString value).

Uninstalling the bundle will uninstall the non-permanent packages that aren't still used by other bundles.

MsiPackages don't have install or uninstall command attributes because the bootstrapper engine ("burn") knows how to invoke Windows Installer with appropriate arguments.

My recommendation: get hold of the Wise Command Line builder tool described in the second thread to get the command line easily generated.
