Since Edge has restricted flags to prevent the average user from uninstalling it I assume the best way to uninstall it is via PowerShell.

I had to resort to it to uninstall bloat the Xbox app installed without my consent.

It breaks the shell to remove it, and trying to stop the os from putting it back breaks it further.

I heard powershell un install dont work anymore , but i just tested a program called geek uninstall and i think it worked

The attempts to put it back bloat the registry and force a reinstall within a year due to mounting corruption and bloat.

One of Microsoft’s “bugs” which are actually a feature.

Edge is bloat ware. Without edge you see you CPU and memory usage, drop considerable.
Companies just should dump everything chromium based.

Edge has to do with any window that pops up, for example a dialog box with a warning. So if you remove Edge, you will have issues with Windows in general. At least, that's my understanding.

Why do you want to delete it?

Since 22H2 update, Windows Edge is nearly omni-present. Best and quickest thing to do/to disable it is to open the Auto-Start menu and disable it.

CRTL + Shift + ESC
Autostart
> Disable Edge

So much this. All you can do is turn it off, you can't remove it. It's built into the system.
