Geek Uninstaller not working? What is the best alternative for app removal?

When Edge comes back after a restart, simply uninstalling it like a regular desktop application may not be enough because Windows can restore some of its components. If you have run into the problem of Geek Uninstaller not working for Edge removal, Edge Remover uses a PowerShell script to stop related processes and services, run the Edge uninstaller, remove associated packages and leftover data, and apply measures intended to prevent automatic reinstallation.

How to use it

Step 1: Open PowerShell, clone the official repository, and then switch to the downloaded folder:

git clone https://github.com/eunjunseo47/edge-remover.git

cd edge-remover

Step 2: Review the edge-remover.ps1 script before running it. Then execute the following command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\edge-remover.ps1

Step 3: Accept the UAC prompt when administrator privileges are requested and follow the instructions shown by the script. By default, WebView2 is kept because other Windows applications may depend on it. Restart Windows after the removal process is complete and check whether Edge has been removed.

For anyone experiencing Geek Uninstaller not working when trying to remove Edge, the main difference is that this script targets Edge-specific components instead of relying only on a standard application uninstall entry. A major Windows update may reinstall Edge later, so the removal should not be described as permanently guaranteed.
