    Edge cannot be uninstalled. It’s utterly ridiculous that I cannot remove superfluous programs that I do not use from my own computer. (Before anyone tells me to just install Linux, I already use Debian but I have to use Windows for my classes)

      Edge can indeed be uninstalled, but if you are not in a region subject to EU regulations this requires jumping through some hoops, and it does require access to an administrator account.

        I am Edge free and forever indebted to you 🙏 That was shockingly easy. I’m surprised my system didn’t put up more of a fight. I feel freer already.

        I am not in a region subject to EU regulations ❤️ It sucks so much ❤️ But I didn’t know I could bypass the typical uninstall process for Microsoft-installed apps! I will be looking into how to delete Edge now because I’m tired of it opening when I don’t want it
