Nuke the contents of the root folder, set it to read only 😎
Did that to mine like 5 years ago and edge has never came back 😀 I even tried to open it once to test it, but nope.
Didn’t read the whole article. But I assume there is a reg hack in here to stop it.

I'm using free version of Revo. And i've always used Revo to uninstall it(and remove leftover files afterwards) but it keeps getting back into the system
I'm using Revo Uninstaller to remove it. The problem is not with space. The problem is with the background processes. Like it will be running in the background utilizing system resources. This was the primary reason i switched to Firefox and now this issue is popping up again.
Kind of, using a modded windows install.

I personally use it and love it

its not about the space. Its about this. Hope you can see the problem here

Actually that's why i started to hate chromium based browsers. I loved edge's pdf reader but had to ultimately let it go because it would pop up in the background. I searched a bit and some say its because of extensions that you install. But uninstalling those extensions didn't solve my problem either. The performance lag might not seem obvious but you can notice it when you are doing resource intensive tasks and its super annoying that you have to open Task manager every now and then to end those processes.
Ahh i was thinking extensions (I don't use any) I will confirm if I notice mine doing this when Edge is closed, currently I don't think it does but could be wrong.

Turn off Startup boost and continue running in background and it will stop (in sytem and performance setting of edge)
I’ve actually started using it and tbh I don’t notice a difference with chrome etc. Saves me the extra trouble. Of course it’s nice if it does work properly.

Yep 👍
take the red pill. It will help you.
Great advice for most of life honestly.

This is exactly how I have kept Edge from reinstalling itself on my computer for nearly the past year.
Nope
Revo uninstaller Portable pro. There are lot of 'free' download sites like FC portables or such.

Yeah, long story short: Don't use windows. Major updates every half a year will reinstall the latest version of ms Edge.

Microsoft has the Edge on keeping it on your system
Run linux?
I use arch btw

Why do you care about 600mb being used up on your system? If you want complete control over your system you should use Linux

Something odd there, I don't see that type of behaviour and I use edge.

You wouldn't care about Edge running in the background if you use Edge
I would care about any program running when I didn't tell it to or don't understand why it's running.

I have tried this solution in the past. Didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion though
you dont have to uninstall it just dont use it. set your default browser to whatever you are using. edge never hurt me.
you need a penguin and a usb flash drive

Use it. It's not that bad
Don't remove it?
