You might need to create a new profile by moving the old one to the desktop.

I would like for you to move the Default folder out of User data, so Microsoft Edge Dev creates a new profile.

  1. Press Win + R keys to open up the Run dialog box.
  2. Type %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data and press enter.
  3. Move the Default folder to Desktop.
  4. Launch Microsoft Edge Dev.  That will create a new default folder.
