    I want to remove Edge because of disk space and I do not use Edge in any format. Already changed my defaults to another preferred browser.

    Doesn't work on windows 11. Even deleting all of edge's registry files somehow didn't remove edge.

    I am an adult and able to read. I do not need to see a video. Just post the instructions in text form next time. Funny to dump on Microsoft guy scraping for ad views / microincome while you're doing the same thing by trying to do the same thing with video views.

    I tried too but it also does not allow me to uninstall this useless **** browser. Obvisouly, they found out that we want to withdraw this crappy software and they want us now to have it in our system one way or another. Just another fancy autosabotage exhibition from Microsoft!!!

    Come on Microsoft guys, let us ininstall this trifle. It would crash my system within an hour. EGDE works fine in Android phone but not in Windows 11. Come on!!! Since WE am not going to use it again, what is the point of its existence in our disk drives? I installed Monzilla (and Opera). They both work just fine!!!!!
