Answer 2

To permanently remove an account profile from Microsoft Edge so the username and email no longer appear and its data is removed from the device, do the following:

1. Remove the Edge profile from the browser
   1. Open Microsoft Edge.
   2. Select Settings and more (three dots) > Settings > Profiles.
   3. Select the profile to remove.
   4. Choose Remove profile (or similar option) and confirm.
   Removing the Microsoft Edge profile deletes all data associated with that profile from the device. Previously synced data associated with that identity is not deleted from Microsoft servers by this action.
2. Sign out of Edge to stop sign-in and sync (if not already removed)
   1. In Edge, go to Settings and more > Settings > Profiles.
   2. Select Sign out for that profile.
   Signing out stops sync and prevents that account from being used automatically in Edge.
3. Clear local browsing and suggestion data so the account and related activity do not appear as suggestions
   1. In Edge, select Settings and more > Settings > Privacy, search, and services.
   2. Under Clear browsing data, select Choose what to clear.
   3. Choose the desired Time range (for example, All time) and select the data types to remove (such as browsing history, cached data, etc.).
   4. Select Clear now.
4. If needed, clear address bar and suggestion data
   1. In Edge, go to Settings and more > Settings > Privacy, search, and services.
   2. Under Clear browsing data, select Choose what to clear.
   3. Select a Time range and then Clear now to remove typed characters and visited sites that appear as suggestions.

After these steps, the removed profile’s username and email will no longer be associated with Microsoft Edge on that device, and its local data and suggestions will be cleared.
