My question is very simple that is HOW DO I REMOVE BING AS SEARCH ENGINE FROM MICROSOFT EDGE.

Please, please and please give me a simple  and direct answer or solution and not by "beating around the bush"

I am getting very fed up with Bing appearing as my search engine. I never as for it but how come Bing came in as my search engine. There are thousands if not millions that HATE Bing. Why is it still there, JUST REMOVE IT OUT FROM THE WEB or whatever permanently.

Assuming you're using the Chromium-based Edge, open Edge settings [click ⋯ (Settings and more) > Settings], then choose Privacy, search and services > Address bar and search > Manage search engines. You should see Google as an option. Click the ellipsis (three dots) at the right end of the entry and choose Make default.

    ... the updated post I have above  ...

    Please don't do that - it makes it difficult for other users to relate the response to the post being responded to. 

    ... that also didn't work. When I type in "weather" in cortana, it STILL opens Bing. 

    Cortana isn't Edge - it's a different app altogether, and it always uses Bing to conduct web searches. You can only change this by installing extra third-party software.

    It's stupid too.  If I want my searches to show up, I have to use Google.  That has happened with my last two searches.

    With the settings you describe for the New Tab Page, I see the Microsoft logo and a search box, but no trace of Bing:
