Yesterday I tried the bookmark syncing between 2 different Edge version, both logged in to the same personal Microsoft account on Windows 10 latest version.
Edge insider canary Version 81.0.381.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Edge stable Version 79.0.309.56 (Official build) (64-bit)
so I kept both of the browsers open, side by side. I tried deleting a bookmark/favorite in canary and after 3 seconds I could see the same bookmark was deleted from the stable version.
next thing I tried deleting a bookmark in stable version and after 3 seconds the same bookmark disappeared from the canary version.
I also tried deleting folders, it took longer to sync. my folder had around 100 bookmark entries in it.
but I noticed a strange behavior. when I deleted my folder containing 100 bookmarks in either of the Edge versions, I couldn't keep the folder drop down menu open in the other version.
by drop down menu, I am referring to the drop down menu that appears when you click on a bookmark folder on the bookmark bar in Edge browser.
the reason why I couldn't keep that drop down menu open was that, when I deleted the whole folder in one Edge browser instance, it was constantly syncing and deleting the bookmarks inside that folder, one by one, and on the other Edge instance, i could see that the bookmarks are being disappeared one by one, so that was the reason I couldn't keep the bookmark folder drop down menu open. because Edge needed to close it in order to sync the contents inside the folder. I hope this changes so it won't be necessary anymore for the drop down menu to be closed every time.

If you have two instances of the browser open, then yes, if I remove sth it disappears from the other window too. The problem is however when I close the browser, and reopen it. Shortly after all of the bookmarks are back. 😕 It's driving me crazy.

again on these versions which are the latest ones in each channel
Edge insider canary Version 81.0.381.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Edge stable Version 79.0.309.56 (Official build) (64-bit)
tried it both ways, tried with both favorites and favorite folders.
one browser closed and the other open, and vice versa. none of the deleted favorites came back. waited even 2 hours, still didn't come back.
which Edge insider channels/versions are you using?
which OS version?
