    Here, you will find a folder with the current version of the Edge browser. In my case, it’s 96.0.1054.57, it could be different in your case.

    Inside Edge Current version folder, open Installer folder ( 96.0.1054.57 > Installer). In this folder, you will find a setup.exe.

    Here, you need to right-click on the empty space and from the menu select Open in Windows Terminal.

    Uninstall Microsoft Edge browser in Windows 11

    If Windows Powershell is set as default profile, then execute this command: .\setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

    When UAC dialog box appears, click Yes to continue.

    When pointer moves to next line confirm that Microsoft Edge is removed from Windows 11.

    After doing this, Microsoft Edge app will no longer appear in search and Installed apps settings page.
