Profile picture in new Microsoft Edge won't update

The new Microsoft Edge won't update my profile picture; it is still using an old one.

Steps that I have taken:

1.  I have updated the picture twice online in my Microsoft account.

2.  I have deleted the old picture from both of my Windows 10 systems.

3.  I have deleted my Edge profile several times.

4.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Edge.

Nothing that I have done seems to help. Would like to know if this is a bug or something else is going on.

    After submitting a ticket and spending over 20 minutes going back and forth with a windows technical support representative, I was left with "Alex just wait 48 hrs and it will update." Now, after 5 days, I was still seeing the annoying picture up in the right corner of Edge. It wasn't anywhere else! It was only present in Edge. Who'd have thought I needed to go through such pathing just to delete the buried picture within my C: drive.

    Thank you Rio for the fix. I signed out of my account via my laptop (as the main sign-in, went to local), deleted the account out of account settings, signed out of Edge, created the Profile 2 as you suggested, and finally a fix.

    This solved my issue too ! Took hardly 5 seconds. But this should be addressed by Microsoft soon.

    The Edge account seems to be synced with Windows account.

    I opened Windows Settings->Accounts->Email & accounts. Remove the account there and the account showed error in Edge. Then sign again in Edge, the picture is updated correctly.

    That explains a lot. My profile picture appeared in Edge after I updated to Windows 10 Version 2004. So it must be synced with our Windows accounts.
