Why would it not be necessary? It still stays as a provisioned package after you uninstall it.

That's not edge legacy, do you see that on the system at all with new users (outside of when you search for it in PowerShell or whatever)? That app should be removed when you uninstall Edge chromium.
It seems like Edge uninstalled incorrectly in my VM, after re-running the script the package seems to disappear, sorry about that.
The script selects the 32 bit registry automatically (
$regView = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryView]::Registry32), while the guide uses regedit so you have to navigate to it manually.
very nice
Worked flawlessly! I can even install WebView2 without Edge reinstalling!
Thanks. How to remove Edge components in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft? I have here EdgeCore, EdgeUpdate, EdgeWebView. EdgeUpdate Services still running in my system.

That's for Webview2, not the main edge browser. You should keep those files.

Hmm, in the EdgeCore folder I have fully worked Edge Browser 👀 This is normal?

Yes, it won't run on its own. WebView2 and edge share components and you can launch the Edge UI through that folder if you manually run it.
@ave9858 microsoft didn't seem to like this script in LTSC, so they kind of made it not work anymore
i'm not sure if this fixes it
if ($edgeClient -ne $null -and $null -ne $edgeClient.GetValue('experiment_control_labels')) {
$edgeClient.DeleteValue('experiment_control_labels')
}
wat
if you get that error edge is alr gone
post on the discord if u have issues with the script
That's not necessary, and I'm not sure if it work because edge legacy is a system app, not a regular app preinstalled.
