Uninstall preinstalled Edge

While using and testing on the beta version of Edge, can the preinstalled be uninstalled? 

  • Windows still doesn't allow uninstalling the built-in Edge browser, not even in the Insider fast ring build 18970.
    you can however use this powershell method to somehow uninstall it. i say somehow because the install files will still be in your system and another powershell command can reinstall it.

    so open the PowerShell. Type PowerShell in the Search bar.Right-click and select Run as Administrator.
    Type the following command and hit Enter
    Get-AppxPackage

    This will show you a list of all installed app. Look for Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.
    Copy (Ctrl + C ) or write down the PackageFullName.
    Type following command with package name in it and press Enter.
    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_20.10240.16384.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe | Remove-AppxPackage

    Done MS Edge will no longer work.
