    Install 'Revo Uninstaller'. Once it removes new Edge the old one is still there. You will then have to go find the icon link and put them back on your desk top and task bar. There are a number of posts discusses this as well.

    I never saw the   June 28th Aesthetica/Bloxy and not sure if i did everything correctly, but just used Revo Uninstaller and thank God it worked.   Will find out if any problems shortly. 

    Microsoft team, not everything was horrible and it was fast, but the UI is horrendous and how one manages multiple things. including favorites and a whole host of other things.  should have have been forced with it, I would have stopped using Explorer/Edge altogether and i was a big fan of it.

    On June 28th Aesthetica/Bloxy sent in a fix that worked for me.  They recommended downloading Revo Uninstaller.  There is a free version online and I downloaded it.  I followed Aesthetica/Bloxy's instructions and was able to remove the new Edge.  The old one automatically re-installed when the new one was gone.  That was 3 days ago and so far I still have the old Edge with no problems.  It was a quick fix and I have kept the Revo Uninstaller for future problems.

    I found that the New "Microsoft Edge" had some undesirable features and didn't provide several options available in the "Legacy" program.

    Removing the new version had presented the same obstacles as everyone else seems to be experiencing.

    I was able to uninstall the new version of Microsoft edge

    by following these steps

    1} Open "File Explorer"

    2} Click on "File"

    3}Scroll Down to "Desktop"

    4}Click on "This PC"

    5}Click on "OS (C)

    6}Scroll down to "PROGRAM FILES (x86)

    SPECIAL NOTE: There are 2 "Program Files Options to select. Only the "Program Files (x86) folder seems to offer the "Delete Option " for Microsoft edge.

    7}Click on "PROGRAM FILES (x86) and scroll down "Microsoft"

    8} Click on "Microsoft" and several "Edge" data lines appear.

    9}Delete all "Microsoft Edge" entries and the "New Microsoft Edge" program will be removed from your computer.

    Finally I'm about to embark on the task of restoring the "legacy" version of edge to my computer. I'm of the impression that it may not be an easy task. Stay Tuned.
