Well I'm not in favour of any company forcing you time to time to use their product. But it's not just MS that does this. Even Google too makes it nearly impossible to uninstall Chrome in Android, just it's not that annoying like in Edge's case and you can easily set the default browser to other. But Chrome is still there in your storage.

man FUCK google. Android is filled with bloatware and stupid "features" nowadays, and the cherry on top is all the spying to (with barely any consent, of course) sell that sweet, sweet user data. i'd rather use my fucking flip phone at this point tbh

You can't uninstall system apps because the system partition in Android is immutable. It's not like Google chose not to allow uninstalling it, it's just not possible.

The problem is, you can't even disable Edge on Windows. Android always respects your default browser settings.

@@DanielClear2 Oh I see, didn't knew that. Thanks.

I've got nearly no info on the inner workings of Android but I still think Google doesn't even try to make it uninstallable. I mean, it does profit them, as Android is free so they can only earn from their services which you get with Android.

@@DeathMonarch2005 to be fair, most consumer phones only have 1 browser pre-installed which would be chrome

@@user-dofjlkfxv4 Not true. Every OEM manufacturer also installs their own browser alongside Chrome in most devices I've seen in my country, be it Xiaomi, Samsung, BBK group companies or some other company, except Apple as they have Safari.

@@DanielClear2 they could've allowed it if they wanted to. If I can do it with abd, they can do it too

The Android Debugging Bridge's "pm uninstall -k --user 0" command doesn't fully "uninstall" the Chrome package, it's still there the data's still there, it just moves the package to the "user 0" user directory (as you can see at the command), which you can't access in the GUI (afaik) so it gives kinda an illusion that it's uninstalled when it's not since it's still uses up storage in your device and really it's just on another user profile, also part of the reason why this isn't possible in Android Lollipop (and down) since iirc the user profile stuff was implemented way back in Android Marshmallow

Google also installs unneeded apps like Google TV, Google Meet. Like... I tried just to delete all the files of them but they just kept reinstalling and you can't delete them through Google Play Store

You can do it via adb but the concept it's the same

you can probably get rid of it with a debloater program on your computer. it works via USB and it's super useful for getting rid of stuff you don't need that can't be uninstalled on your phone for some reason, preeetty sure it works with chrome

It's so annoying Microsoft does EVERYTHING to make Edge the browser of your system. It has set back to Edge as default so many times in the past. It even reinstalled it after system upgrades for me, when I used different methods to uninstall it since Windows 10 (even the "first" Edge version). Changing others to default was made extremely difficult and annoying for a reason by MS... I hate that so much!

I don’t mind, cuz i think edge is 10 times better than chrome, but i can see how it can be annoying


I hate Microsoft for forcing you into their products, if you like it or not. They try so hard to make that you stick to their browser and OS, just because they want to have monopoly over all market shares. I couldn't install or boot into anything besides Windows on used PC I bought for little server project, I had to wipe the NTFS partition from hard drive just to make Linux bootable from USB stick because there was some kind of crap that tried to stop Linux from booting while Windows 10 was present on hard drive (and I tried several distros like Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch). And on top of that they make that SecureBoot requirement for Windows 11 to install and have partnership with Lenovo to ship their laptops with chips that prevent anything besides Windows to be installed on them. I could understand that monopolistic approach in 90s or even mid-to-late 2000s, but now Windows is so dominant on the market that it doesn't need any of that nonsense, it is already in most households all over the world. Just give people some choice Microsoft, at least when they are using your system.

Same thing happens to my laptop, I can't boot from any Linux USB stick (although was able to boot from an MS-DOS one). I wanted to switch to Linux, but deleting the Windows partition is simply not an option right now.

There is nothing in Windows that stops or even would be able to stop Linux from booting from another drive other than Secure Boot, but that's part of your UEFI, not Windows

That PC I bought doesn't have UEFI, it only has American Megatrends BIOS from 2006, SecureBoot was introduced in 2011. There was definitely something on hard drive that prevented Linux from booting.

You may have issues with the "flashy and useful" Fast Boot (or Fast Startup or whatever it's called) option in Windows.

This is just malware level of persistence. Actually, I don't know if even a rootkit could do this.

The integration was so bad in the IE4 / Win98 era that I stayed on Win95 / NT4 longer than most people just to avoid having it on my system. IERadicator / LitePC / 98lite could remove it from 98 and some other OSes, but there were bugs in doing so, and just sticking with 95 / NT4 was way cleaner.

but actually Win95’s OSR2.5 and WinNT4’s SP3 were the first attempts for IE4 integration, and that attempt gave too much of impact. For example if you have a small business and you want to install Office 97 on workstations, be careful with installation because later version of Office 97 Small Business might had installed IE4 on pre-OSR2 PCs and pre-SP2 workstations.

Just tick the "don't remind me again" button in Firefox when it asks. You are perfectly capable of manually going and enabling the https and http defaults for Firefox yourself, the browser won't complain.

This point seems kinda redundant for a step a user takes once per installation 🤔.

On Linux, upon instalation of my OS (Manjaro), it literally asks me what browser I want to install and default to. Why can't Microsoft do the same?

Why does everyone hate Edge so much? It’s honestly not even bad. The context menus looks way better than any other browser (transparency effects) and it’s the only browser where you can enable Mica on Windows 11, so it matches all the other built in apps. Also, it has the best implementation of vertical tabs

Yeah you have a good point. Sometimes someone has a specific needs (ex. low ram browser or maximum privacy). Otherwise why would you keep a browser that you never used for months.

If someone (Microsoft) is literally forcing me to use something, it's enough reason TO NOT use it even if it has features different browsers don't have.

Plus it runs on Chromium now, so it’s essentially just chrome to an average user, what’s the fuss 🙄🙄

@@a.nice_guy Mica is Aero but ugly. Way more ugly than whatever Windows 8 had instead of Aero.

EDIT: My statement is incorrect, see edit of a reply below.

@@hx0d probably to some, it’s still as bad as Google Chrome because of Google’s say on what happens to all Chromium Browsers (ie Manifest v3)

@@VerMishelb Aero is an eye sore. Deal with it.

@@hmwndp Nah, I won't. I've been using 7 and 10 for the longest periods of time out of any OS, followed by XP SP3, 8.1 and Vista. Currently I have Windows 7 installed as dual boot with Windows 10 and I'm using both actively due to lack of old DirectX support in 8+, so I am using both and can say for both. Yes, 10 IS smoother in terms of animation, probably because animation was made in other way than 7's, yet everything else is too sharp, flat and oversimplified. Windows 10 looks more boring than even XP. If Aero is an eye sore for you, you should give a chance to Windows 8.1. It is quite sharp, but not oversimplified. My biggest "eye sore" is a HUGE close button that takes way more space than you'll ever need for clicking it, especially in some apps with bigger title bar, like Firefox, and the fact that it's not even red anymore in 10 and 11, just like in Windows 9X.
As for Windows 11, it's an OS made of features that were already made before and presented like new, except for Android apps maybe. UI is a mix of XP's round corners and 8's blurred transparency which is apparently now called "Mica" (if I'm wrong about Mica, correct me and say why it's not what I think).
Touch based UI was a mistake on desktop OS.

EDIT: After making some research I understand that Mica is NOT what makes an ugly bootleg transparency. It's Acrylic. Mica colours the title bar (and some other elements) in a tint of your main colour in the background. It looks nice, but not even close to what Aero does.

@@VerMishelb I don't like 10's design either. I like the Windows 9x look better. If I still used Windows 7, I would use the Windows Classic theme.

@@hmwndp That's exactly what I've been messing with today. Classic theme buttons are kind off too small for a 23.5 inches 16:9 monitor imo, with a bad mouse it's troublesome to click the correct one. I've also accidentally caused 10 to turn on Aero Lite with classic theme file which was not a pleasant experience :/


With the newest edge model, we are proud to annount that you will be able to dawnload chrome even faster!!!


i think the real reason why its so hard to get rid of edge is because thats the only browser you get when you install windows. without it, you cant install another browser. lol


I've always thought why you cant uninstall Edge, its because if theres no browser,  you cant access the internet (at least that mutch)

well yeah, the only good feature of Edge is that it allows you to install other browsers, but I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft blocked the websites of other browsers in the future

@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan they would never do that

They would get sued almost immediately, there is a limit to how much companies and people will deal with before it just becomes malicious

you can install browsers from your command line, atleast in an OS like linux, but Microsoft doesnt like you do that because then they won't have an excuse

@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan U can just install a browser using PowerShell or ChrisTitus's tool

I don't think this is a fair point to make since Edge is just built on top of the same UI as Google Chrome. Meanwhile, Apple does a lot to make sure only Apple approved apps run on iPhone, which hurts end users. And, also, to be fair, Microsoft still allows for the installation of Firefox and Opera from the Microsoft Store, meaning if Google wanted to go that route of distributing Chrome through the Microsoft Store, they can do that and set app defaults for Chrome.

Chrome used to be in the Microsoft Store but Microsoft has deleted it because it didin't meet the requirements for a web browser in the Microsoft Store

@@devaraanimationI don't think it ever was. Back in Windows 8, Chrome was available in both Metro and Desktop flavors.


watching this now truly makes me happy about those eu guidelines that let you do anything you want to do on your digital devices


If u ever trie to delete something here’s a tip go into the files and then delete every small files that u can delete eventually u can delete the big files aswell.


I found edge to be easy enough to remove (as a power user or better), but its annoying that windows update reinstalls this malware once in awhile. Also the annoying process to set the default browser was Microsoft's doing, they broke the function used to set the defaults automatically.

I know how to uninstall Edge. You need to go in the Image File Execution Options in the registry and create a msedge.exe subkey, then add a Debugger string value which would say a different application. Then try opening Edge and it will not open. :)


Right Click --> open file location(twice because it WILL mislead you to a start menu folder) --> manually delete that pile of trash.

I actually still don’t get why everyone hates Edge. It’s a solid browser.

i agree but microsoft shoves it down your throat which ruins the browser


Yeah, this is super malicious and anti competition, i hope microsoft gets destroyed by a second anti trust


I’ve noticed that people aren’t this angry when it comes to Android and Apple products being this level of intrusive, but yet are with Microsoft.

🤔🤔🤔🤔


A wise man once said, "It's easier to 'edge' than to uninstall Edge."


Microsoft makes it hard to uninstall edge to prevent fresh windows users to "accidentally delete" and not be able to install any browser.


All you have to do is go to "file location" and then permentally delete it from there.. Great vids though! keep up the good work!


I downloaded some third party software to prevent windows updates point blank just to escape edge, bitlocker, and all the other nonsense getting forced on us consumers. It's been such a relief


Let's be honest... Switching from Edge to Chrome isn't that much of an upgrade anyway...


at one point they pushed out a windows 10 update that forced you to have a microsoft edge shortcut on your desktop on launch no matter how many times you deleted it. disabling this was the first time i discovered the registry


Don't know that much about computers but couldn't you just rename the chrome files and then put them in the recycle bin then empty it?


as a person who knows quite a lot about computers, you could just go to the file location, delete the folder its  in, and then  it's gone. the easiest way to uninstall Edge.


someone who really knows english grammar, is the title correctly written? "how difficult is it to uninstall", instead of "how difficult is to uninstall"? for me i think he has misspelled it but idk, im not an expert. but this truly got me, i really wanna know if its right.


wait you can’t move it to the trash bin?


pretty funny how they had to include a registry "NoRemove" deeply hidden between how a new user attempts to delete it themselves.


why dont you just delete the program files from the c: drive


As tiny11 user I've never installed Edge to begin with. But I don't know how to get rid of occasional MS Teams popups


Any side effects for the removal of Microsoft Edge? Does it cause system instability?


The Microsoft Edge process always runs in the background to stop the third party uninstaller from uninstalling Microsoft Edge.

What exactly is the point of uninstalling Edge? Having another browser ready can be handy for occasions Chrome or another browser is being wonky with things

debloating it to the fullest. edge could be considered a bloatware that they going to use once and then never again


I think the reason they don’t let you uninstall edge is more of a failsafe in case everything on your computer is uninstalled. This way, edge will still be your access point to the internet to reinstall everything.


I don't really get it... why does the most people want to uninstall Edge (Chromium) just to install Chrome (also Chromium)? It's almost the same browser and works as good as Chrome...<br>Why don't you install Firefox instead?

I find it actually easy, just use a live Linux USB with a functional GUI (definitely not Arch or Gentoo), navigate to the disk where windows installed, find edge's folder and vaporize that shit, it does break some applications that somehow still requires internet explorer to run such as Roblox server browser


so they reinstall edge every few updates... they engraved that thing into the kernel.

4 years ago I thought I deleted edge but to this day I’m still finding files for edge on my computer


4:20 it's not Google's fault
Apps can't do that themselves
Microsoft made it as hard as possible to replace edge


honestly, Edge is a good browser i dont understand why people would swap it out for Chrome, plus every browser is practically the same, why do you need to change it?


Then Windows 11 silently reinstalls Edge again. I only noticed it because iObit Uninstaller gave me a notification


the main reason that microsoft prevents you from uninstalling edge is because your system will probably break because some apps use edge for certain reasons, another reason could be if you dont know much with computers you could accidently uninstall edge preventing you from downloading another web browser.

And that's why Edge and EdgeWebview are two separate apps. Nothing breaks as long as you don't delete the Webview.

What apps for what reasons?? I don't see any


4:03 I like how he's blaming Google instead of Microsoft lol


Microsoft did not let you to uninstall the Microsoft Edge or set up Google Chrome automatically for default WEB browser. But Windows 11 is now letting you to do any browsert as default with "Set As Default" button on top right of the default apps section where Google Chrome opened it for you.


oh a new windows update lets install it<br>microsoft edge: hello there

oh a new windows update lets install it
microsoft edge: hello there


Ok, i have a trick, although it's not uninstalling it, you can basically break it, with all the exe files in the Microsoft edge program directory to something like .exe1, it will not run
if you create a blank working executable file then rename to the same thing as what exe files where there (which is .exe1 now in this case)
but don't rename it them to .exe1, just exe, then you don't get error messages
you see, what i've noticed, alot of Microsoft programs will start Microsoft edge in the background, and windows will try to start the program every so often


3:24 correct me if I’m wrong but I think you just leaked your ip?

That is the browser version number, not an IP address.


Thank you for this useful tutorial! I subscribe because I expect more good tutorials like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Feedback: Make the music quieter, it will bring focus to the visual content


funniest thing is Edge isn't even its own bespoke browser like IE was. it's just another Chromium. THere's no reason why it can't be uninstalled like any other. the complication was purely artificial smoke and mirror, unlike IE that at least had an excuse for being part of the shell.


I found it rather easy, go to where edge is installed and delete all the files


Fyi, you don't need to setup the file associations manually , if chrome is installed and you say yes to the "Make Chrome your default Browser" it should let you open links and most things in Chrome, minus pdfs. But nowadays it doesn't matter since Edge is now just Chromium but customized by Microsoft


Yeah but what happens if now you search for something in the w11 search tool, and the search tool redirects to edge? There isnt any edge...


I consider myself to be quite tech savyy, however, last time I tried uninstalling Edge was a really long time ago, and I think at the time you possibly couldnt do it without risking to break your system because of just how deep it was onto the system. Since then, I switched to Linux and never cared to look back, but out of curiosity and in case someone I know of needs to get rid of it for performance issues, what's the way as of now? For 10 and 11. I remember being able to "uninstall" it, yet, after a restart, update, or a few days, it would get silently installed and defaulted once again. Has that changed?


Finally, the noob vs pro vs hacker trend has gone into the technology genre.


Hey I heard that you live in Russia, but you can still install the new windows versions. I was wondering if you only can get windows 10 or 11 on a virtual machine, or can you get it with a VPN? I was wondering about this because I also live in Russia.


Do you know why edge and chrome pop-ups in VMs are kind of more white that they should be?


Tbh Edge and Chrome are basically the same thing now, Edge just uses less ram. Firefox is the only real solution


Microsoft Edge : what can I do for you today ?

Me : Uninstall Edge and download chrome


Not having the option to uninstall the one browser is kind of idiot proofing. I once was working on an Nvidia IOT board, it was short on space. So I decided to uninstall chromium 🤡 the only browser I had. Then I was unable to install anything else or let alone access the internet because my university required Network credentials to access things. It was Linux by the way so I was able to tether and install Firefox from the terminal. New users may end up removing edge and get stuck without a browser and not know how to get around it.

Now I do not advocate Microsoft's invasive approach to shove it down our throats too. Not having an option to atleast disable it and making it impossible to change the default browser are just downright immoral.

There are countless ways to reinstall browsers without a browser, there is no justification for this, period.


I just blocked the main Edge executable in Webroot's "Block/Allow Files" menu, then it flagged and nuked everything on its own. Assets, update tools, reinstallers, registry keys, absolutely nothing survived. Funny how antivirus heuristics work...


Bruh 💀 When windows 12 comes around were gonna have to start using electric shocks to specific parts of the computer to remove edge just like those old game cartridges bypassing nintendos console protection


If Microsoft puts out a default web browser that is somehow uninstallable, and even makes default browser to be changed, it's bad. But if Google makes an extremely closed down OS where you can't uninstall the browser in anyway, and you can't even change the default browser BECAUSE YOU CAN'T INSTALL ANOTHER BROWSER it's ok...


Fastest way: go to Windows setup, open the folder where Microsoft Edge is stored, delete it.


Windows: NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T UNINSALL OUR BROWSER!!!111!!<br>Meanwhile linux allowing you to modify every byte of the system: lol

If you were a noob that knew how to change permissions then you could because if you open the file location of edge, then go back into the program files (x86) and change the permissions of the microsoft folder, then delete it , it completely get's rid of edge and it wont start


Is there a video where you show us how you configured your Win11 OS to your liking so you can run Virtual Mschines on it?


Was it really that hard? I remembered I tried to delete it in my old PC and I used an app called treesize and deleted the essential files, and MS edge was removed. Unfortunately I removed Chrome as well and I couldn’t reinstall it so I had to reinstall windows


meanwhile me watching this on Microsoft Egg:I AM 4 LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF YOU.


I think, it integrates edge so deep, that if you accidently uninstall chrome or something that you can download another browser, no browser means you have to download an brwser on an usb or use compilcated commands

The dangers of uninstalling your only browser could be one reason for this, if they want to make sure that Windows users always have a browser than that’s fine. If it’s almost undelete-able because Microsoft wants more money, that’s the issue.


Try this again. It’s gone from hard to impossible


On Windows 10, or Windows 11, you would have to create a DWORD 32-bit value titled "NoRemove" and set it to 0.


Yes it is annoying that it takes so long, but in all honesty edge is not that bad, it just gets hated because everyone else hates it


the joke is, if windows detects that microsoft edge is not installed, after an update it is automatically re installed…


i've been using microsoft edge for almost two years now, and i kinda only have good things to say about it. it's just better chrome with connectivity to your pc. pretty fine imo


What's tragic you installed worse spyware than Edge.


You know it's bad when the video lasts 7 minutes


Microsoft edge is hard to remove and was made for it to not be removed because if you uninstall the other browser you have and you dont have microsoft edge then you cant use browsers at all since you have none


Now if you are in the EU, you can uninstall Edge normally.


Fun fact: Microsoft Edge is better than Google chrome. Here are some examples:

RAM:
With 60 tabs open, Chrome takes ~3.3GB of RAM. While Edge can do that with ~2.9GB of RAM.

Faster Speed:
It of course depends on your internet speed. But it's around 270 runs per minute. While Chrome has ~257 runs per minute. Give or take.

Extentions:
You probably think that Edge can't use chrome extentions, but it actually can! It has "Chromium", wich means you can access the chrome web store and add the extentions to Edge.

Search Engine:
While Edge might have some questionable searches, you can switch to the google search engine in like 10 seconds in the settings.

But why do people think that Edge is bad?
The are two words: "Internet Explorer".
Back in the day, internet explorer was a disaster. It ran very slowly and just wanted people to choose chrome. But now, Edge is just better, even tho it might not be the most used.

Did you know if you use the Task Manager, you can stop all the running Microsoft Edge applications and then it lets you just delete the base folder. I literally just deleted it np.


Cant you just open the file location then Shift+Delete the whole folder?


I uninstalled it easily by just going into the file location and deleting the edge folder and it worked for me, then after that i deleted the shortcut and the start menu item to finish the "uninstallation" process.


is it a windows 11 thing or am i missing something? i tried doing this on win10 and just deleted the files for edge with no extra steps


Have you thought of using iobit unblocker?


At this point edge is pushy and integrated enough I just don't bother uninstalling it, not like I can't store it with 2tb of space. Usually just remove the shortcut/task bar/start menu icon.


good thing Tiny11 comes with Edge pre-uninstalled


Closing Edge from task manager and deleting the folder "Microsoft" in "Program Files (x86)" works.


Good thing you didn't uninstall Edge runtime because I accidentally uninstalled it while uninstalling Edge if you uninstall it it will break a ton of stuff on your computer And cause completely unrelated errors


I just force removal with Geek Uninstaller. Helped me a lot with other things like apps I uninstalled incorrectly and even wipes traces of apps from the registry, for free! Definitely recommended.

When malicious dates come: “July 9”, “September 24”, “January 1”, it will delete the MBR and replace it with the text “YOU CANT GET RID FROM ME!!!” (if you click “Not Give” and wait for these dates) or when you gave access, it will take and encrypt all files (this virus should only run on a VM)

Windows users uninstalling a browser be like :


the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\110.0.1587.50\Installer\setup.exe
it is in the key where the noremove is there, the string is in uninstallstring
you could execute that, same as clicking uninstall


from my experience, using these methods on windows 11 (dev insider) to remove edge, like with running the setup.exe with certain arguments, doesn't even work anymore. additionally, every windows update it comes back. my debloating script actually has to manually delete all folders and stuff for edge


i simply shut down edge and their processes and deleted all of the files and shortcuts


A Noob doesn't bother trying to 'uninstall' something.


pretty sure this is to prevent an user from uninstalling it without having a second browser (example: Firefox, chrome, etc)

Funny thing: if you manually delete the edge ascociated files and then search for edge in the search bar then it gives you the "Uninstall option"


After a windows update, you will notice that edge is installed again and also even if you somehow keep removing it, you will find some links not opening or some search results not working and also in the start menu you are forced to use bing search and it will only open with edge if it's not installed it won't open...

If they just made it easy to uninstall edge isn’t even that bad


I used to remove edge. Interestingly on win10 if you remove chromium edge then the old edge browser would take it's place and I'd have to remove that too. Also the edgeview2 runtime. I'd keep IE though because nothing like using a web browser that won't break on those "insecure" web based programs from 10 years ago. But now I don't remove edge because there's a very small chance some windows app or process is dependent on edge and can't work with any other browser, and I'm sick of reinstalling windows every 6 months because things break down too much.


All fun and games until it keep coming back. They will be back, they always come back.


Can’t you open file location of Edge and delete it there?


How every human on earth should do browsers: search on edge to download chrome, then remove edge and use chrome to search for browsers that dont fuck up your ram and resources for just one tab and then download the better browser that does not sell as much data as goofle and microsoft


I managed to just quickly navigate to the file locations and delete them before it ran. Then again, this was on windows 10, so it might have changed


Well if you delete the edge browser and accidentally delete other browsers, you suddenly have no access to the internet anymore, no?


the only reason why i havent switched to other browsers is because: 1. edge has an good ai, 2. it dosent use much ram, 3. microsoft rewards.


well I usually just delete the files from my pc

should I do like you?


You could’ve just manually delete the Microsoft Edge File Location.


I only used Edge because it was the only one that let me play Gamepass on Windows 8 that came with the notebook from my mom that she gave me when mine broke.

(i only have a win10 and winXP iso for it though since they figured out how to block downloads :/ )


to be fair I think it's a good thing that Edge isnt easily uninstallable unless you know what you're doing.

think about it, what if someone didnt download any other browser but uninstalls Edge?

@@krankenwagen7198windows 11 doesn’t come with internet explorer


If you want to promote your browser say it’s the recommend and it’s faster and more secure than others then force installing it and making the user go through the process of using the browser once to get chrome and give an option to uninstall then there is at least one other browser installed


nevermind it will come back in a single windows update only


Microsoft don't remember Internet explorer history, so they just repating it


Would you recommend Revo Installer instead of Uninstall Tool?


I can confirm that after uninstalling edge with Bulk Crap uninstaller, Edge would come back after I guess a restart or after a random time. Microsoft needs to stop that.

Why uninstall Edge? It’s actually one of the best browsers right now out there.

everytime I try to save an image it comes up with the microsoft edge logo and when I open it, it opens a tab in microsoft edge with the image. I couldn't find a fix for it and its super annoying


Can't you just Manually MOVE it to the recycle bin and empty it?


Unfortunately, after seeing the Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge anime character fan animation on YouTube, I wouldn't forgive myself for uninstalling the browser.<br>As an anime fan, anything posed as an anime character, will force you to feel sympathy for it...

Best tutorial on how to uninstall Google Chrome.


im pretty sure they dont want you to uninstall edge because if you do without installing any other browser youre just stuck with no browser for eternity with a trashbin and settings


Why not just use wise uninstaller or iobit?


can you uninstall it without deleting the app folder or uninstalling tool


In search type Edge open file location, when taken to short cut right click >> open file location delet everything bim bam boom!!!


as a total computer noob this reminds me of that one xkcd comic that goes something like “even when trying to be conservative, experts will consistently overestimate how much the average person knows about their field”
Or maybe I really am just that dumb

also seriously where do I go to learn how to properly use computers I’m tired of being technologically illiterate


I actually like edge and bing over chrome and google, it's just way better. I don't know why you guys hate it that much

I hate it because I use firefox, chrome users probably hate it out of spite


So you didn't just assume direct control over the folders and then get BSODs a few years down the line when windows has issues with permissions? This seems tots a lot easier<br>Now do Notepad to Notepad++ switch too, for good measure

but wait... what if i uninstall chrome after uninstall edge? i get softlocked to get access to the web?

Nah, you still have winget, so you can reinstall them from command line. Or you could transfer the installer for a browaer onto a usb stick and put the usb stick in a pc


I coincidentally end up watching this one year later 😂


When its say: before you switch try edge. Its really sad to change edge when you see that message


the fact all u can do is just delete it by right click


1:01 why is the starting page in german?


i deleted edge the wrong way and it ended up breaking windows search, after a restart edge was back and so was windows search.


Microsoft edge is opening when i press F1


rip aka rest in peace microsoft edge that you uninstalled


How does edge manage to be more anti competitive and less user friendly then chrome itself


Right-click the app icon. You can see the delete button is not disabled.


Hello, it is normal, uninstaling microsoft edge cause bogues, Microsoft Edge is a system compenent of windows.


I've noticed that you can't use some apps such as TikTok and Instagram without edge on your computer.


At least you can't uninstall it, you just got the old edge.


ended up straight up deleting those folders, because this wasn't working.


Just right click on the shortcut, then click open file location, then you just delete all the files that show up and delete the shortcut.


An easy way to delete it is with wise uninstaller. It can force uninstall it.


why is your edge in german? i saw it as a german and i am confused


i never thought of WN11 On a vm tbh my WN10 on a vm is always buggy and crashes at microsoft login

either you need a better pc or low memory


Removing Edge on Windows 10 (for me) slow down my computer to the point that I need to wait a minute for the password to work properly


Windows would be dead in the water if it wasn't for all the games and programs that need it.


I kept task manager and files open, quit microsoft edge, then deleted the file right after, and all of it's content.


Well, edge isn't that bad imo but it keeps updating itself without my permission and in background. How can I stop the updates for good?


Why would you want to uninstall Edge if it’s preinstalled and based on Chromium?


okay maybe im weird but i really like ms edge (no hate) i use square page for better home screen


I mainly hated microsoft edge because it kept opening and closing by itself constantly and i managed to find every single file related to it and deleted it


I didn't know it was that hard I usually just use Revo Unnistaler to take that out of my pc and Delete the folders that remain using Linux on a USB stick


>video about uninstalling a chromium browser<br>>installs a chromium browser

>video about uninstalling a chromium browser

Even worst install a chromium browser that eats even more ram


The irony here is that you are uninstalling a "chrome" just to install just another "chrome".


Microsoft Edge is a red flag. Who would ever search with Bing? Bing Chilling?


Can’t we just delete the Microsoft edge folder? (I don’t have windows 11)

The operating system constantly marks the Edge folders as “in use” so you can’t delete them unless you close any programs that currently have it open (meaning you have to shut down the entire operating system and open the drive from a recovery environment or live USB)


genuinely so pathetic how much microsoft forces you to keep a browser you dont even want, and half of the time, it'll come back if you happen to update (or get forced into one)


I don't know why Microsoft is forcing  <br>Windows users to use their browser

I don't know why Microsoft is forcing

its ez to delete microsoft edge just right click on it then open file location then delete all the files which you can after that restart your pc and delete the rest of the files (u have to restart to stop microsoft edge services and things from working) and there u go its deleted


Omg bro I watched your videos like 7 years ago on another account and I finally found you again


well, if u uninstalled Microsoft Edge, how will you install another browser?
so, u wont be able to Install Chrome if you uninstall Microsoft Edge.
so thats why it doesnt let u


Delete the directory which contains Microsoft edge, done. If needed you can do it with administrator privileges in cmd. Also there is a reason that I would use chrome too, it is far more exploitable and has more users. Perfect for testing dangerous tools to get these issues fixed.


Its kinda easy, just install atlas os and it gives option to remove certain windows things including microsoft edge


How the heck did you record the start up?


"open pdfs right in your web browser" 💀💀💀


how ironic there is <b>Optional</b> in the name when its basicly irremoveable by normal means

No body talking about how every song he used was mostly used by our boi Fe4rless??


well, iobit uninstaller can force open the edge's uninstall program. haven't tested it yet (cuz im afraid that some programs wont work without edge) but yea


If this trend of “edge is better” keeps up when I simply don’t care I’m sure that on windows 12 Microsoft will straight lock you out of your pc for wanting to not use it.


I didnt know there was a command to remove edge, I usually remove it with an unlocker


The easiest way is to drop it from the ISO.


be me
get windows first time
this motherfucking edgelord on my pc wont go down without a fight


is easy to uninstall edge but you need adminisrative perrmissons and windows 10.


is it just me or has it gottne even harder in more recent Win 11 versions?


The only thing I’m questioning is how the heck he has all of the vms <br>I know he did probably delete old ones and makes new ones but for me it never works

is there anyway to remove edge from start menu after doing these


Title should be called “Microsoft edge uninstall guide”


Instructions unclear: I deleted it and now I have no browser to install Google chrome from


I'm fine with keeping edge, I have 3rd party programs that make it not open, but I'm scared something might break when I uninstall it.


Going from edge to chrome is just jumping from one spyware to another. Use waterfox.


"As im a noob"

"As im a noob"

I don't know if this is Windows' fault or the browsers', but I recently installed an old build of windows 10 in one of my computers. I tried to download Chrome with the legacy Edge browser but just didn't work, the download button wouldn't start the download. It took me a while to figure out, I had to install the new edge browser and then install chrome from there. Really tedious and frustrating!


Bye bye ram, well bye bye chrome hello brace or opera


Bad ending: Edge reinstalls after an update


Its not.. I uninstalled this program a lot of times and nothing happened


Everyone :- Microsoft follow anti competitive practice, set bing as default on windows
Meanwhile Google
Pre-install chrome on every android, Pays Samsung and Apple to set google as a default search engine in their phone. Forcefully put Android logo on boot etc...


This reminds me of those phones made for children. I always hated them because you couldn't do anything on them due to how locked/proprietary  they were. For kids it alteast makes sense that you don't want them to fuck up something in the settings, but this is NOT product made for kids. Microsoft's Windows 11 is literally made for children, you know, gotta make sure they don't fuck up the internal settings somehow.


I uninstalled it by right clicking it and clicking open file location and I deleted the Microsoft edge folder


people would probably use edge if it wasn't so maliciously implemented lol. when will companies learn that letting consumers have free will and control over their products will improve popularity and therefore profit


If you format pc using windows option, microsoft edge uninstall automatically


try going   to any video and remove the h from watch, im curious what happens


You can skip installing Microsoft edge without anything. How? As soon as you see the Hi getting things ready for you screen IMMEDIATELY press CTRL+ALT+DEL then sign out.

its not installed per user, its installed for all users when you install windows


Funny how Edge is basically Chrome and maybe better but people still hate it, Microsoft keeps forcing it, and people hate it more. Queue loop.


To be fair, I like the new MS Edge, it is way faster and not RAM intensive compared to Chrome. But Windows 11 should make switching browsers easier, because it is a matter of preference.


I just removed it from the folder and it worked😊


is there any way of setting the settings apps links to open in a good browser?


I have a question: if you live in russia but in big or small?


will it reinstall once again you update windows?


time for windows to update and hard-code edge into the system so you have to install a seperate windows ISO in order to remove it.


On some windows ltsc versions, you can uninstall microsoft edge


All i always do is just deleting the folder, all files and finally the shortcuts.


Is like you remove web engine on android os. Can you remove it? I just wondering why so much complain to microsoft, but do nothing to google or apple. Is kind of stupid.


Like this so first you just right click Microsoft edge from the desktop then delete then empty the recycle bin.


Why hasn't Microsoft been sued yet for these obviously anti-competitive practices?


Why is microsoft so annoying with its browser? Its not any better than chrome if your getting popups to stop trying to switch to a another browser.. and making it almost impossible to remove edge off your pc.


I tried the  registrty key method and it says uninstall but the button doesnt work what do i do? and yes ive tried the folder one it doesnt get deleted too


There is a bat file that can delete microsoft edge (not really but it makes microsoft edge unusable)


I just enter safe mode, remove the Edge directory and do that think (donotupdateedge = 1) on the registry. And no more edge, not even after updates


2055: "you cannot switch! keep using glorious Microsoft Edge Browser and do not bother trying to sneak around to change it or destroy it, because if you do, the system will self-destruct!"


Cant u just delete edge folder with unlocker?


Is it possible to grab it into the trashcan?


I legitimately thought it was impossible to uninstall edge, I’ve always wanted to do it though


I'd like to see "How hard is it to uninstall Safari" next lol. Apple would likely be even worse


Edge is basically just Chrome at this point. If you don't like Edge, you shouldn't get Chrome, because at least Edge is just Un-Googled Chrome. Just get Firefox instead.


would just deleting the edge files messup my windows?

i did that because the uninstall didnt work


I ran the BypassESU tool on my Windows 7 machine and the extra updates stuck Edge on my PC, not only that but it opened itself as soon as it updated and I was like EWWW, I never pressed ctrl-alt-delete faster in my entire life to terminate the task, then I immediately uninstalled that garbage from the control panel.


Whats the point, microsoft will just install it again via an update (at least that was in windows 7 days)


Changing  the default browser in windows 11 is so tedious, unlike in windows 10


Why chrome? Thats the same browser with a diffrent name. You need to use firefox or something to not get chromium


I actually managed to deinstall Microsoft edge without any third-party software


Can't wait for windows to automatically update and reinstall edge


this is why i like mac; just drag the file into the trash can already right on the bar, easy


The fact how what i did on my host, was just delete the program folder lol


bros forget that you can right click in the control panel to try to "uninstall" msedge


CMD no longer works for me, so I yeeted all the ms edge data folders.


you can also use revo uninstaller pro (or not pro if u wonna do it for free) which is the best program for that job i think.


This is why you install Firefox and skip the whole Default Programs thing


Hey enderman what is that cmd to uninstall microsoft edge please i need this in my life.


Why would you make it this annoying, just to be deleted anyway. They legit shove the browser into your face


setup.exe --force-uninstall --uninstall --system-level  did not remove it. did not give any error message either


its so easy just go into files and see microsoft edge delete it, then it won't appear


chrome set itself as default browser automatically for me... but that was on Windows 10 (windows 11 didnt really even exist back then)


Linux: when you want to uninstall the browser... do it😎


I absolutely need that for when I get my mom a Win 11 laptop in the next few days.


meanwhile on linux: sudo apt uninstall microsoft-edge

@@mccraftingtablelmao6204 on gnome store yes, although i dont know anyone who uses it

@@mccraftingtablelmao6204 it is for some reason but why tf would you use it


They even put a registry key to stop people from uninstall it brehhh


Didn't Microsoft get sued for this exact thing in the past?


why is MS Edge bad? I really like it, in fact, I have it installed on my phone, mac and ofc my windows pc, but I read that there are security problems, is that true?


OK, but have any of you actually tried edge?


If linux was less confusing I would be using it right now


The mean thing is: Once I lost my ability to update, because I uninstalled edge… :(


By the way is it safe to uninstall Microsoft Edge?


Idk why but I switched to Microsoft edge and bing chilling

(Google is better but I’m using bing for bing chat)


the reason its hard to un install microsft edge its beacause it a system app so what your doing is like uninstaling setttings but its edge


What about file location and delete from there?


microsoft is kinda really non thinking and making edge worse


how microsoft is expecting people to trust their OS when they do things like this


But does windows continue to run normally after that?

Yes, Though the steps shown wont work now


Uninstall Edge
3/10 Difficulty.
Use Powertoys and File Locksmith.
Objective: Uninstall edge.


The process to make it extremely difficult to uninstall the default browser on a computer you own is anti consumer and monopolistic 😮


I can't update my pc to windows 11 even if it's compatible.. But this is depressing.


Computer idiot here, what I usually do is try for five minutes to get rid of it, give up, unpin it from everything, and put it in the Shame Corner of the desktop


My google chrome stopped working, so i tried microsoft edge as my browser until it's fixed


And then windows update rolls around and reinstalls it......


bro there is a tool called unlocker it kills the process of any program you want


I am using edge for few months and I am really liking it, just microsoft shouldn't force it, its great anyways


moral of the story: microsoft SUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKSSSSS


the default apps in settings are run by microsoft and doesnt let anyone automatically change it in win 11 bc they need ppl using edge while it sucks ass


if edge was a human, it would go to the corner and cry bro. You removed him fromm all the extension directories. even though u use windows 11 and Windows 11 launging at edge!


Interestingly, when I reinstalled windows it deleted edge. No matter how hard I tried, I actually couldn’t reinstall jt


Until windows2000, you could just delete the .exe file and be done with it.


This is my way, so you open taskmgr go to Microsoft Edge processes and end all task of Microsoft edge and go to the file location of microsoft Edge and delete msedge


Microsoft edge is even worse now, even apple allows u to uninstall their main webbrowser on macos


you should not uninstall it, it can make any website an app


i heard they got sued by some people in europe, (they might not have though.)


I installed Firefox, made it as my default, and ignore Edge.  Did the same on my Mac.


How do I remove internet explorer on windows 10


Me watching this video with Microsoft Edge:


Honestly, edge has only 1 unique feature: free ms office.


I actually use Microsoft edge whats bad about it?


-uninstalls edge
-file explorer stops working
-windows update installs it back
🙃


I deleted it when  I was younger by accident


The regedit method is even blocked, I had to give myself permissions from SYSTEM to change the NoRemove to 0, Microsoft should stop, Its kinda starting to feel like i dont have the power over my PC

You only own your PC, not the OS and software you're using.


I've found a reason for Microsoft Edge's existence beside installing Chrome! More microsoft rewards points.


Change the path to an usb, remove the usb, use another pc or idk if it work even the same pc, formatt the usb. done! or i least think of it like that


C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft --> delete edge files


i have an actual windows 11 and i haven't seen anyone else with windows 11 on youtube for some reason.


i accidentally looked at the dudes pfp and i hear grumbling


dude you are the greatest computer of all time!

Why not put microsoft edge in the trash can and then clear the trash can


Not trying to defend Microsoft, but isn't it like this because Edge is effectively a fallback browser, since IE was removed?


I am also Google chrome fan and i just dont use Edge in my daily tasks but i am afraid that for a lot of reasons sooner or later  Edge is gonna be required for some kind of tasks, i work in the enterprise channel and there the only acceptable browser is Edge (apart from none of our colleagues like it). I personally will leave chrome back, the next day that Microsoft will allow sync data on Edge with google account instead of Microsoft account.

Yeah i wish ms added that i use edge because then i can game without chrome sucking up my ram and resources


umm ur just doin the hard way just set u as an administrator and delete edge done (thats how ive donw it) now i dont have ms edge and my pc is confused af


wait u living in germany or what bcs u got your microsoft edge german news


is it better to use opera gx or chrome, genuine question because im peranoid from the time my pc got adware and i saw opera on adware advertisements and idk if that's because opera was small back then and doing it for advertising or if sum is malicious abt it

Opera uses less ram chrome laggs my game with just 5 tabs open have 16gb ram

Opera is spyware (i get that this is an old comment)


Let’s all be honest that Microsoft edge is the #1 browser for installing other browsers

Chrome is the number 1 browser for eating up the most ram in a few tabs


in olden days we can uninstall internet explorer


i'm still using ltsc 2019. there is no edge here.


if you uninstall edge you regain access to ie 11


Nobody will stop me from using Microsoft edge


Linux users not having to install the menace that is, Microsoft Edge


or just delete all the edge files by going into the tast manager, forge end edge and quickly put those folders in the trash. Yeet the trash out and bingo.


Though, I still 100% prefer edge over chrome. Ever since the chromium based update whenever it was I really believe it’s convenient and viable


What I did was totally delete the root folder for edge and it worked


I'd love to see how long it will take until a Windows update happens and forces edge right back on the machine.


Chrome cant auto do it because windows made it different in Win 11 then Win 10 and even tho Chrome supports Win 11 it doesnt have all features


you can just delete the shortcut, and you'll never see it again


What if you uninstall Notepad

I think it will be hard


It literally is easier to install rufus, make a linux mint installation medium and install it than to do this if your objective is to not have edge


What i did was go to open file location then click the delete and empty recycle bin


Uhh there is a video that you made called “Facts about windows 10” and you uninstalled Microsoft edge?


wait cant u just rm -rf** i mean delete the .exe? i mean its probably owned by TrustedInstaller or smth but just take permission of it. Cant u do that?


I always unpin  Microsoft edge and I don’t see it ever again


You uninstalled nothing. Please provide further instructions on Uninstalling Chromium browser trash and manually define a custom .EXE as the default application.


@@emiliorubiomadrid3800 ?

Edge is literally corporate spyware. Microsoft uses it to steal and sell your information.


guys we can unstal it in control pannel in windows 10...


Or you can do it the fast and easy way by deleting the folders in the “Edge” folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge).


''Fast and secure, built for windows 11'', proceeds to open it, takes 8 minutes to open


but its so easy? just go into open directory go to the dir the "Edge" folder is in, then delete all 3 microsoft edge things.


I keep it because I like html 5 games and my browser doesn't really work with them well


Using the registry no longer works, guess i'll try something else...


Just use geek uninstaller it works, i did that.


i would just delete the edge files lol but im to scared to try it because my pc dosent support virtual machines


At this point, I have decided to stop commenting on youtube videos and only upload.
I dont want some 30 year old looking at my early comments and then do something bad. I am [REDACTED] years old, i do not want to get doxxed, nor something bad happens to me. This is my decision.

Goodbye.


microsoft edge is really good, just that bing is trash but you can change it in settings


It’s Sad seeing how much they force their browser and rant about how good it is but at the end of the day no one really cares


I would uninstall microsoft edge but the browser itself it's already a win win situation on my side. Just think about google's gmails, you need a phone to get more accounts!

Some people say it's really dangerous to remove it now,back then wasn't really dangerous at all,for whatever reason now it is.


I just remove edge (when I need to remove it) by deleting all folders in the Program Files


Wasn't the reason it cannot be easily removed because people accidentally delete it before downloading another browser and get stuck having to download the installer from another PC since they cannot access the internet without a browser?

how tf u gonna delete it accidently? like "oh no i just went into settings my hand slipped then my cat moved cursor to the apps option and clicked edge then delete what do i do?!?!?"

even if u delete it using the trash bin u can find it in files easily u just delete the shortcut


Fast way: Open Microsoft Edge archive location and delete Microsoft edge


I just changed permissions from trusted installer to me and then deleted that shid


3 hardest things to do on your device (better dont):

install browser on Linux
uninstall Edge on Windows
uninstall Chrome on Android


IOBit Uninstaller gets rid of it, but it comes back


Can you share me the fresh install of Windows 11?


I always knew that learning how to use the registry editor would be useful


I'm very sorry to pull y'all down, but for me, I've been doing this whole process six times now and IT KEEPS COMING BACK after update or reboot while no blocks or tweaks work. Uuuhhhh Microsoft.


You can drag microsoft edge into your trash can and delete everything from trash can🗑

My Linux distro came with Edge pre-removed.


Opera go can do more than chrome will because IT switches IT All for you so you dont have to deal with it


I just delete the Edge executable and create a folder of the same name so Windows can't bring it back.


little timmy said he doesnt want to uninstall microsoft edge on the computer because he gets microsoft points everytime he searches, he uses microsoft points to get robuxx


all fun and games until you delete chrome too and are left without any browsing method


If you uninstall Microsoft Edge are you gonna install Chrome? what you should is use Microsoft Edge to install Chrome and then uninstall it eazy.

Nope use chrome to install faster less data selling and ram eating browsers


for some reason i feel like Internet Explorer was better in installing Chrome/Firefox/Opera than Edge


in windows 10 it does not work i click unistall nothing

I don't think you understood the video...


me looking at the title be like "WAIT ITS HARD TO UNINSTALL MSEDGE"


That's why I don't even bother downloading a new browser and with the new update edge isn't that bad u guys should also try it and it's a good thing if u use edge cuz it already is default for everything and I really don't like the hassle. Now you might think I am a Microsoft fanboy but I'm not I didn't even know a browser except chrome xD I only used explorer as a wooden pickaxe to get the stone one and rip ie


I think u should have gone to file explorer and search this pc then type edge and delete all files


I actually prefer the current Microsoft Edge over Chrome, it's the opposite on mobile


I use windows 10 ltsc, it comes debloated (sort of, doesn't have one preinstalled apps like one drive, cortana, etc. I haven't looked into it that deeply) but it doesn't come with edge which is the best part


In my windows optimizer I sdded an edge remover for a reason


Me:
Opens start menu folder
Microsoft edge
Delete


Please, Microsoft, I don't want use your edge, i just want opera!!


me who uninstalled edge by deleting its files: omg i found a 3rd way


Windows is fricking trolling me i did that with the cmd to try delete edge and it literrary OPENED IT wich is not cool because i never wanted to and windows really forces me and everyone else to have it on their pc


kinda ironic im watching this on microsoft edge

Microsoft Edge cannot be uninstalled, it will be restored


I recommend hiding it instead of removing it as some features of windows break without edge.


me: installs iobit uninstaller*

iobit: remove Microsoft Edge??


just delete edges core files from the microsoft folder simple.


yo le hubiera dado una oportunidad a edge, me recuerda a los navegadores que usaban en el trabajo de mi padre

Pero obligarme a tenerlo instalado y ponermelo hasta en la sopa me hizo cambiar de opinion
vamos que hasta parece un virus de tan de repente te aparece


i switched to edge right after the day i updated my windows and edge came out of nowhere... it was great so now I completely switched from chrome to edge from the day it got installed in my pc👍


windows:
NO DO NOT UNISTALL A BROWSER THAT ISN'T NEEDED ON THE COMPUTER!!11!!
also windows:
oh, so you want to delete system32, one of the most important files on computer and would stop working without it? go ahead!


I’m going to still use edge and you did that video because Microsoft edge became a Win32 application


Could someone indicate me a good uninstall tool? I need to remove something but even tweaking the registry i can't uninstall it


You are doomed if you have an extension virus in edge 💀💀💀💀

I just downlaoded a program to give me special permissions and deleted the entire fkin folder


But why no one wants Microsoft Edge, in my opinion it's the better browser and I still see a lot of hate. At least give it a try


For me was ez:go to start menu, search edge, click open file location,you will go to the start folder, and you right click on edge and once again click open file location, and press control alt del, and open task mgr, if edge in task mgr is open, kill the operation from edge and delete all the files acossiated to edge,now you deleted edge😂 WARNING:the search option and widgets won't work.


You could have made a 20 sec video by just using one of the many OSO ShutUp 10 types of softwares that exist, to completely remove everything you want and turn off all telemetry etc..


It's not difficult at all plus you using chrome means that you are using Edge as they both use each others components.


The Command Prompt trick is patched now.


Edge Browser is like a virus for Windows💀
