How do I uninstall the Microsoft Edge "Update" on my computer?  I accidentally installed it and I don't even use Microsoft Edge.  I know I can't uninstall Microsoft Edge, but hopefully I can at least uninstall the Update.  It really, really stinks Microsoft forces people to have Edge on their computer because it just takes up storage space, slows your computer down and the browser tracks your surfing history.

    Did they say anything about just FIXING the problems so we don't have to go thru all this trouble on our own.  But thanks for the #.  I am going to call.

    No, your suggestion unfortunately did let me uninstall.  Got anything else.  My computer does work right no matter what I am doing.,  A lot of freezing, etc.

    I used Lockhunterto delete every part of edge off my computer. all you need to do is navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft and delete the edge folder. And then right click the "edge updater" folder and it will show you any conflicting programs and prompt you to close them before you delete it.
