Sync problem in Edge Canary Version 81.0.389

I'm trying to delete all of my bookmarks/favorites from the browser because they are old (I'm planning to replace them with up-to-date bookmarks from Firefox). I had around +800 bookmarks in Edge...

I had big mess between desynced bookmarks and sync wan't reliable at all. I ended with uninstalling all instances in all computers (including Android Edge Beta) with choice of clearing browsing data. After installing Beta and logged in sync started working perfectly between all devices (all Beta channel). There re-appeared some old items in favorites and I deleted them...

Seems that in new (clean) install browser is sync restarted much more completely.

Yeah, with the recent changes made to the sync (mostly in Canary and Dev), I hope we don't have to use that trick anymore..

Btw there is also something weird, I see 3 bookmark entries in edge://sync-internals/

but I have nothing in edge://favorites/

All I can think of is the non-removable "Other favorites" folder, which is also empty but it's only 1, still nothing to account for the other 2 entries.
