Ok so tip for people who also dont see edge in the uninstaller application: Open hunter mode and look on your screen for a little target thing that came up (It was near the top right for me) and then open edge then move the target (hold click) and move it on Edge then simply use the target to uninstall edge.

This video helped so much. Any time I saw microsoft edge on my screen or in my files it felt like microsoft was pointing the middle finger at me.

Thank you so much for this video. I have despised Edge with a passion and was sick and tired of it reappearing every time I thought I had got rid of it. Now it has gone for good - joy at last😃

Hello Britec09. I was trying to delete Edge for hours and hours with no luck. than I came across you clip and done it in 5 minutes. Thank you so much. Cheers Oz

All this just to uninstall a browse?! This is absurd.

I have finally cracked it 😁😁. I followed all the steps here and it still kept reinstalling. Tried a couple of things with regedit but the one that solved it was renaming the microosoft edge update file in X86 menu. Just thought I'd let you know in case others were having the same problem with edge. Took over 3 months to solve issue. I wish I knew the people responsible so I could screw them up for 3 months.

Hi, if you look closely at 6:14 in the video, there are still 2 Microsoft Edge icons, they are not deleted as you say in the video. They are easy to miss, I understand, but still the video should be updated to show how they can be removed. Thank you! :)

I failed to do an advanced removal search and had remaining items in the registry. I believe it will return. The only improvement I would add is to show what to do in the regedit to disable the remaining items instead of just adding that line that may or may not work. Worst comes to worst is that I save the video and repeat the process again. Still you have a great channel and I am subscribing. Microsoft just gets more and more invasive.

Thanks !!! Brian, your procedure was a clear and easy to follow tutorial for me. All done here and no more Edge. Thanks again 🙂

This is the first suggestion that worked! Tried Cmd prompt, and powershell. Nothing worked but this program did it! Thank you!

Thank you so much. Just started trying to get my head around Winn11 Pro. Excellent tutorial.

Thanks Brian, Another simple and easy to follow tutorial. All done here and no more Edge 🙂.

Thank you so much Britec! You don't know how much you've helped me. I would use Edge as a secondary browser (Chrome master race) and I would mindlessly surf the internet since I uninstalled the Incognito option for Chrome. Now since I can't use Chrome Incognito, nor can I use Edge (Regular or Incognito) I believe I will have a better relationship with the internet, and technology and close down the rest of my tabs lol. You're superman! Thank you again, my favorite British friend!

Thanks. I really hate the way Microsoft force this on you. I can't stand the censorship in Microsoft Edge. This worked a treat 24/1/.23. Lost a day trying to figure out how to get rid of it. 😎

Thanks BRIAN for the video! Had to delete/remove/uninstall Edge because it imports data and bookmarks from other browsers without permission, leaving user accounts open on edge without user knowledge. Edge acts like a virus, this can lead to a major security flaw if you don't know that Edge has you signed in to various website WITHOUT permission. I'll NEVER use it again because this kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. It's a major security flaw, not a "feature".

Thanks, Brian, for your great instructions on the removal of edge. I have been using Revo Uninstaller for a couple of years and find it very good, in this case I followed your directions and ran Revo’ which looked like it got most of the junk removed, but as you outlined, it pays to do the follow-up. I went into GP Edit and found one trace, “Allow MS Edge to Pre-launch-----” and I was able to disable this per your instructions. In the registry I found the folder EdgeUpdate already there with a myriad of sub listings, 2 of which gave the file & Path to where Edge update is located, I just deleted these 2 lines, but I added your “do not update to------” as an extra key. I then went and looked in Program Files (x86) and found the Edge folder and deleted the complete contents that even “Revo” missed. So now I am completely free from the Edge! By the way I have been using Fire Fox Mozilla as my main browser but have Chrome & Brave as my backup browsers. PS, “Revo” dos not catch all software installed, it did not detect my HP printer software at all, I needed to reinstall. I managed to remove this with EMCO Unlock IT, to unload the loaded programs to be able to delete them, another good freeware.

bloody hell mate...you're a absolute gift to the world. I was about ready to throw my laptop out the window. Thanks heaps for the great vid, from myself and my still in one piece laptop :)

Thank you for this tutorial. I tried running the script 4 times with no luck. Got Revo uninstaller and rid the machine of Edge and other apps that I will never use. Followed task scheduler settings and regedit instructions and all is fine. Much appreciated. I also use Wise and Ccleaner to dispose of any leftover registry junk as well. There were many.

I use Revo Uninstaller Pro to deeply and permanently uninstall any software, including the windows Apps (bloatware), alongside with Glary Utilities Pro + Malwarebytes (to deeply clean, fix and delete any remaning system registry). Run sfc /scannow after this process and my machine runs like real silk. I do this method twice a month, since a few years. Having an OS for workstations I turn it into a debloated LTSC with the powerful features of Workstations. Try it out. Thanks Brian, for another great video. As usual.

i still have the blank icon on start menu. I tried many ways but it still there

Many thanks for that ! Ive found that Revo uninstaller very handy for other unwanted apps as well. Thanks again.

This was very useful. Great stuff Britec!

Excellent video Britec, many thanks 🙏🏽

Yo! Found your video and I do hope that it removes it completely to never come back. I dispised Internet Explorer and I loath Microsoft Edge. In all honestly, Internet Explorer is a minor inconvenience to me as opposed to the absolute menace that is Microsoft Edge. (This is my own opinion people and if you don't like it, then do you.) Again I hope it never returns again and I wish you, everyone you love, and everyone that sees this, a good day and I also would like to wish all of you a good year!

I just noticed that MS just installed MS edge runtime (half a gig) on my system. What about that Brian ? Should I dump it ?

This did not work for me on my Win 10. Edge does not show up in the App list with Revo.

Thank you! I had to do some extra steps to get the Group Policy editor to show, but so far it seems to be working.

You've been a great help! I was trying to delete it for months with no success and finally i did it. Thanks a lot!

I'm having trouble deleting two files for edge one says Microsoft edge and is 48kb and the other is edge update

Thank You Thanks You !! saw your script video tried it :( THEN i saw Revo Vid.. Worked Perfect !!

Brilliant tutorial - thanks very much! My hair has remained on my head :)

Perfect , the previous command prompt way did not work for me. This tutorial works 100% thank you.

What is Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (Do I need to Uninstall it?) This is what I found in Revo Uninstaller Thanks for the Video :)

Edge not showing in Revo Uninstaller 2.4.4 on my win 10 64 bit pc. uninstalled Revo & found the same version 2.3.9 shown here, Edge was in the list then, but doing everything up to 6:15 (pause there) you have edge, as do I, still in the list........

GREAT VIDEO!!! Question, in the "local group policy editor" time index 10:30, why not just disable these two?? I did do it the way you said.

Hey Britec, since I've uninstall Edge following this video back in october I've been having problems with Windows Update where it always shows cumulative updates that fail to install. After some deep researching I noticed that all these problems with WU are due to the lack of Edge... Any ideas?

Very nice vid great explanation I think I have mine figured out! I Just use google chrome (for for years, it's quick, simple, no nonsense) I was tired of "edge" barging in would when I would try to load a page even though chrome was my default browser.... I liked and Thanks again!

I've been using Revo-Uninstaller for awhile now and its great at removing every little bit of a program you don't want and also removes Programs, Extensions and all registry bits & pieces as well

After all I`ve done according to your instructions, Edge is still among my settings/apps and in the task manager. No option to remove them from there. Any advice?

Thank you! It's not so much that I hate the browser as I hate having it shoved down my throat. It's my computer. It shouldn't be so difficult to get rid of a program you don't want. I have warmed to some of its functionality, but I refuse to have it on my system out of spite.

Hi! I tried this and Microsoft edge does not appear on the User interface of Revo Uninstaller. Does anyone have any backup plans?

Hi, it (the edge emblem) didn't appeared amongst the programs list in Revo but somehow I managed to use the Hunter Mode and able to uninstall it finally. So your video somehow helped with my case... But information after the uninstallation part, is awesome!!! So, Thanks a lot sir!

Now that was a real one Brian!! Bravo and thanks

That Microsoft edge is a pain in the arse i thought i had a virus the thing was bombarding my pc with edge pages even just clicking the mouse page after page was popping up malwarebites was not detecting any virus so there are many solutions to get rid of it and this is the only one that worked for me delete it totally cheers

Very well done! Thank you.

Ty very much, I was able to remove Edge with no problems again ty.

Great thanks!!! I have no idea how this worked but thank you again!

Microsoft Edge doesn't show up in Revo Uninstaller...

Pretty sure I got all the steps correct except an "icon-less" Edge line still shows up in the start menu (nothing happens when I click it though), Edge still shows up as a 32kb sized app in the settings menu along with Edge Update and WebView2 Runtime. Did I miss something?

edge doesn't show up in the list of apps for some reason.

if anyone else is having trouble deleting edgeupdate, look for it in task manager, then click "end task". from there it should work :]

Thank you 🙏🏼!! Why would anyone by a computer with edge. They are rogue bullies

Good video, and a beast of a thumbnail 👌

I'm confused! When checking the App Section to see if there is anything left from Edge you say there is nothing left. Yet if you freeze the video around the 6:10 mark you can see a remnant leftover> Microsoft Edge 48.0 KB, and also Microsoft Edge Update is listed below that, but without a file size listed. Am I missing something here in the directions on the video? Thank You CB11

I don't think this works anymore, edge did not show up on the revo list

This method doesn't appear to work anymore. Followed to the letter. Once Revo begins uninstalling Edge the green bar just passes time sliding from left to right. Even in 'Hunter' mode. Plus Edge does not come up for uninstall on Revo or under Microsoft Apps.

when I installed the program and opened it. it showed Microsoft Edge and under it it showed Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. should I remove it too?

Great video, thank you👍

Revo Uninstaller Worked great !! Thank you - also, thanks for the extra file to keep Microsoft from reloading it.

After all was done, there was a blank icon still left. Wasn't too much of a problem, I just had to unpin it after startup. But then it still reinstalled itself. So nothing has worked for me.

mine doesn't show edge in uninstall list

I Used to be a big Firefox Fan However recently Edge became so fast for some reason so it became my main browser thanks for the effort.

Well I got all the way to deleting the folders the last one being "EdgeUpdate" but it comes up and says, " This action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program " I got no idea what it's "open" and even "in"!?

How to get rid of the blank edge icon on the start menu tho lol?

Just tried to do this on my laptop, new install of Windows 10 ( Build 19045) and Edge doesnt appear in the unistaller !! Looks like they have fixed it show it doesnt show up

when you accidentally uninstall edge before downloading another browser u can type firefox in microsoft store

I used the script from your other video, so can I install this software and remove Edge that is left over? Do I need to manually install Edge, and then use this program.

Thank you. Worked wonders.

Hi Brian, thanks for this excellent video and I have completed this process on my Win10 PC and got rid of Edge - however it has recently udated Win10 during my non usage time and heyho bloomin Edge is back on the system . . Yet again I followed your video to the letter got rid of everything and fingers crossed the bloomin thing will not reinstall at the next Windows update . .

The microsoft edge doesn't show at the revo unisttaler ... can't use the app, I already unistall it and install back, doesn't work, please help !!

Hey this did not work. I downloaded the Revo Uninstaller and uninstalled Edge through that, but its still on my computer. Revo shows its been uninstalled, but I can still access it.

Didn't work! Microsoft Edge was NOT on the list of applications. However, it IS running constantly, and if I type it in the search bar, brings it up immediately. What now?

microsoft edge is not showing up in revo for me. It can find edge for some reason

Thank you so much for this video 🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️It was really helpful You have Saved me a lot of stress

theres no microsoft edge when i wanted to uninstall it

Webview2 is also automatically updated whenever Edge is updated---how to prevent Webview2 update? Both updates slow my computer and happen often.

do i need to uninstall microsoft web viewer run time as well ?

I started Edge for the first time in a long time and upon being bombarded with ads, immediately closed it. And there was a strange floating Bing search bar thing left on my desktop. I checked task manager and Edge left 9 processes running after it was "closed" - even after I had long ago supposedly disabled its background processes. It is pernicious octopus bloat/ ad ware.

I have Edge installed, I have it opened right now on another window but it's not showing up on Revo Uninstaller. I repaired it in the Add or Remove section and tried to see if it would pop up.. nope. Any known solution to this?

I had already uninstalled microsoft edge but it keeps coming back up when I click on a link. Watched your video, but there is no Microsoft Edge on the list. So, why when I click on a link it brings it up in Edge instead of GChrome.

i am not able to remove the leftover folders? it says this action cant be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program

The 50 dislikes are from the Microsoft fan boys

Microsoft edge does not show up in the listed programs for uninstaller.

My edge is running but won’t maximize. Just stays stuck in the task bar. Sooooo frustrating

Followed this all the way. It uninstalled it but it was reinstalled on my system on 27/1/23. I did not reinstall it. I do not want it reinstalled but it did reinstall. Revo software did uninstall it again. I REALLY HATE THIS. Surely this is wrong and Microsoft shoulkd not be allowed to do this.

I see every thing but microsoft edge listed, i even done a search edge isn't listed.

Unfortunately , after I installed Revo, Microsoft edge doesn't appear in my Revo menu as an app and therefore I cant uninstall. Anybody with any advice?

Aha, I just checked the registry and Edge had been sneaked back on, but it is off as far as getting installed with Chromium. I just deleted it once again. I"ll just have to keep checking. This has been working, but they never stop trying to get it back. You taught me how to do this, but I could use a refresher course.

Microsoft Edge is the best browser as of now. Screw all other browsers.

Sadly this didn’t work for me. Microsoft edge didn’t appear in my application window, despite being on the computer

I did all of this and it still stuck in apps and features. deleted everything else though

doesnt work. the app just ignores me tapping on uninstall. I dont even get a response when I tap it, just nothing happens

Doesnt work anymore, Edge doesnt show up inside Revo Uninstaller. Maybe it's time for a new tutorial? Thanks

Edge is not showing in my Revo 2.4.5 any help please. Oh this was a year ago things have changed.

Despite deleting them three folders keep returning because they contain files I just cannot delete - EdgeCore, EdgeUpdate and EdgeWebView. Any ideas folks?

Using latest Revo 2.4.5 and Edge does not appear in the list of programs

Brilliant! Thankyou a million times - easy to understand tutorial that works.

Just watched this vid for the 1st time since my PC has been adding Edge as a desktop icon without my permission

I uninstalled edge using revo uninstaller, when I do a web page search from the taskbar, the results are from Edge/Bing instead from Firefox, my default browser? windows 10
