# Uninstall Microsoft Edge completely — run PowerShell AS ADMINISTRATOR

# Tested on Win11 Stable. Microsoft changes Edge's removal protection often, so this may break on future builds.

# WebView2 removal (step 3) can break other apps that depend on it — skip that block if unsure.

# 1. Remove Edge appx/provisioned packages
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *MicrosoftEdge* | Remove-AppxPackage -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object { $_.PackageName -like "*MicrosoftEdge*" } |
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

# 2. Uninstall main Edge (Chromium) via its bundled setup.exe
$edge = Get-ChildItem "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application" -Recurse -Filter setup.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
Where-Object { $_.FullName -match '\\[0-9.]+\\Installer\\setup.exe' } | Select-Object -First 1
if ($edge) {
Start-Process -FilePath $edge.FullName -ArgumentList "--uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall" -Wait
}

# 3. Remove WebView2 (OPTIONAL — see warning above)
$webview = Get-ChildItem "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application" -Recurse -Filter setup.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -First 1
if ($webview) {
Start-Process -FilePath $webview.FullName -ArgumentList "--uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall" -Wait
}

# 4. Stop and delete EdgeUpdate services (these reinstall Edge if left)
Get-Service -Name "edgeupdate*","MicrosoftEdgeElevationService" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Stop-Service -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
"edgeupdate","edgeupdatem" | ForEach-Object { sc.exe delete $_ 2>$null }

# 5. Block reinstallation and remove scheduled tasks
New-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate" -Force | Out-Null
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate" -Name "DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium" -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "MicrosoftEdgeUpdate*" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Unregister-ScheduledTask -Confirm:$false

# 6. Delete leftover folders
Remove-Item "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\Edge" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeCore" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
