That does not work for me.  If I run that script "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application\80.0.361.53\Installer\setup.exe" --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging, nothing happens that I can see. 

 

If I run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application\80.0.361.53\Installer\setup.exe" --uninstall --msedge-dev --system-level --verbose-logging users are prompted about keeping data.

 

Thoughts?

 

I need to silently uninstall DEV and BETA versions of EDGE from all our Win10 64bit Enterprise machines before I deploy Chromium Edge production.

    Ian Matthews  What would work are these argument: --uninstall --msedge-beta --system-level --force-uninstall

     

    Anyway: Is there any generic uninstall command to uninstall any version of Edge Beta?

      stesch79   I gave up and uninstalled Edge Beta from 70 PC's manually... desk by desk... not cool but I could not get an answer via the forum and I failed to figure it out through trial and error.

       

      Thanks all the same.  Hopefully your string will help others 🙂

       

      Stay safe!
