Edge Chromium

HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge, remove NoRemove.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientState\{56EB18F8-B008-4CBD-B6D2-8C97FE7E9062}, delete experiment_control_labels if it exists.

Run uninstall in Settings or Control Panel.

EdgeUWP

Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\InboxApplications\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_x.x.x.x_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe (The version will vary depending on your Windows version). This will ensure EdgeUWP is not installed on new accounts.

To remove EdgeUWP on existing accounts, create a key under EndOfLife named the SID of the account that has EdgeUWP, and create a key under that named Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe. After that, you can use Remove-AppxPackage in powershell to remove. Remove the Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe key after.

A repair install or upgrade will restore both Edge Chromium and EdgeUWP. Edge Chromium can also be reinstalled using the installer. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/download)
