Wish I could get rid of edge as well or any built in app that windows forces on you really, but it's the cost of windows unfortunately. I consider spyware that comes built in bloat and thus get rid of it as much as possible myself. If you're q bit more technical it typically bothers you more, because you know what's going on in the background a bit more? but if you're a standard consumer you typically don't know and it is what is for you once apps are gone.
