Windows doesn't let me uninstall edge completely. There is only an option to restore it.
First and foremost, removing Microsoft Edge is not a recommended practice, as it is deeply integrated into the system. However, if you still wish to remove it, using the command line is the most effective approach.

That is a rumour or an excuse, because in EU you *can* uninstall Edge fully from your computer. I know, I've done that. No such legislation in the Land Of The Free which would prevent forceful application install like we do have.

Can you tell me more about why and for what function of the system it is integrated? My assumption would be that some microsoft apps use it to run desktop web apps, howevet as i have mentioned i still have EdgeWebView installed seperately. Ofcourse seeing the app icon doesn't cause me any problems but i would like to learn more about this rumor that "Edge is deeply integrated"
