How do I uninstall ms edge from my computer?

I heard that following the EU's digital thing that m$ had aligned itself with European law and that therefore they had to make all Windows 10 & bloatware uninstallable 11 following the February 2024 update this should be the case my PC is up to date but yet I cannot, for example, uninstall m$ edge or even support for widgets that I never use and other bloatware from Microsoft so how to do it please?

    You're correct that recent Windows updates, especially in Windows 11, have introduced stricter controls around pre-installed apps, including Microsoft Edge, Widgets, and other Microsoft services. Microsoft has aimed to make it more challenging to remove certain built-in apps, partly due to legal and regulatory pressures, including compliance with EU laws.
