It is. You just have to learn how to do it.

For instance, this Edge, I have had two occasions which I ran task
manager to make sure it wasn't running, but almost right after, when I
ran the Ccleaner garbage cleaner it told me "Edge needs to be closed
before it could run". Then right away, I'd go back to task manager and
would see Edge running there! Two times.

So you have a way to see it. Now, you have to learn how to stop
starting it on your computer.

And tens and tens of other times I got the same message from Ccleaner
but didn't check the task manager to see Edge was running. Just had
Cleaner itself close the Edge.

Once again, you see it, you close it. You just have to prevent it to be
launched again.

This is after I had done everything to get rid of Edge.

Evidently, you didn't. Or it wouldn't run on your computer.

I even delete
every "Edge" folder on my computer every time they appear by themselves.

It looks it's not enough.

This is abuse.

This is Windows. You get what you want. On my computer there is nothing
I don't want.

This is what "America Online" was doing to computers.

You choose to use it, you get it.

You couldn't get rid of it.

YOU can't get rid of Edge. I can. It's not about general possibilities,
it's about your personal way of doing things.
