Hi,
to clean up your favorites off the server and delete everything, first remove all other Edge browsers (on Mac and Android) from your Microsoft account and disconnect the sync ability.
so at this point only the Edge insider on your desktop PC will be connected to your Microsoft account and Syncing. now delete everything you want in the favorites and then wait 30 mins to 1 hour, let the browser take its time and sync all the changes you've made.
after 1 hour, start signing into your Edge browser on other devices again (Mac and Android) and see if the previously deleted bookmarks will come back.
I had to do this myself before as a workaround to get it done.

HotCakeX You would think the time stamp in the bookmark HTML would prevent you from having to do this but I guess that timestamp is ignored right now.
I wish there was a better cleanup method than this though.
- Yeah..

"First, there’s some trending new feedback this week about favorites sync issues. For most the symptom is that favorites are simply not syncing, a known issue which we’re working on at the highest priority. Others are reporting that deleted favorites are reappearing, or that duplicate favorites are showing up. We believe these are symptoms of the same known issue so for now we’re tracking them together on this list. We expect to address them as soon as possible this month."
