Method 1: Click the Start button and select settings. Choose the "Applications" option. Find "Microsoft Edge" on the list and click the "Uninstall" button. Method 2: Open Command Prompt as administrator. Type the following command: cd C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\[insert Edge version here] Instead of "[insert Edge version here]", enter the version number of the Edge browser you want to remove. For example, if you want to remove version 92.0.902.62, type cd C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\92.0.902.62. Then enter the command setup.exe --uninstall --force-uninstall --system-level. Method 3: Download the Revo Uninstaller program. Install the program and run it. Find "Microsoft Edge" on the list of installed programs and click the "Uninstall" button.

The Uninstall button is present but inactive.
You launch the Registry by: regedit
You locate the branch: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge.

You change the value of NoRemove to "0".
And now you have the Uninstall button active.

There's just one problem. Edge is part of Windows. Removing it may affect various other things apart from just the browser.

How to uninstall Microsoft Edge on Windows 11?
  1. Open a new Microsoft Edge browser window, paste edge://settings/help in the address bar, and press Enter.
  2. Copy the version number (e.g. 109.0.1495.2) and paste it in the File Explorer address bar at the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\VERSIONNUMBER\Installer.
  3. Inside the folder, run Command Prompt as an administrator, enter the command setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall, and press Enter.
  4. Microsoft Edge is now uninstalled.

The method described above only removes the Microsoft Edge browser. However, if you uninstall Microsoft Edge WebView2, it will make Windows 11 unstable and it will likely not be possible to restore/recover it. Windows 11 uses WebView2 runtime in certain functions such as Chat and Widgets.

To remove the Microsoft Edge browser from the Windows system, you can follow the steps below: Press the Win + S key combination to open the search, then type "Add or remove programs" and select the appropriate result. In the "Settings" window, go to the "Apps" or "Apps and Features" section, depending on the version of Windows. Search for "Microsoft Edge" in the list of installed programs and click on it to select. Click the "Uninstall" button. The system will ask for confirmation if you really want to uninstall the Edge browser. Click "Yes" or "Uninstall". After the uninstallation process of the Edge browser is complete, restart the computer. After restarting, the Microsoft Edge browser should be removed from the Windows system.

Removing the Microsoft Edge browser from the Windows system can be complicated because it is an integrated system application. However, if you really want to do it, here are the steps you can take: Note: Removing or deactivating the browser may affect certain system features, so proceed with caution and consider if you really want to do it. Secure backup of data: We always recommend securing important data before making any changes to the system. Try deactivating Edge: - Press the Win + S keys to open the search. - Type "Edge" and select "Microsoft Edge" from the list of results. - If possible, choose the "Disable" or "Deactivate" option. However, some systems may not allow deactivation. Using the Edge Removal Tool (advanced users): - You can try using the "Windows Package Manager" (winget) tool to uninstall Edge from the command line. - Open the command prompt with administrator privileges. - Enter the following command and press Enter: winget uninstall Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge Using third-party tools: - There are third-party tools that can help uninstall integrated applications, but using them carries risks and may lead to unintended consequences. Installing another browsing system: - If you do not want to use Microsoft Edge, you can install another web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc., and use it as the default browser. However, it is important to remember that removing the integrated browser may cause problems with some system functions, so proceed with caution. If in doubt, it is worth reconsidering the decision or consulting someone with experience in the technical field.
