Hey @ Talmidi

The program does not search for wildcard files/folders. It removes the app, the program, and visible (icons, startup, services, tasks) traces of Edge. It also does not search the registry for keys. (There are a ton)

The amount of time it would take to code wildcards, the additional run time of this program, and the possibility of breaking something -- just aren't worth the minimal gains.

The WinSxS folder in particular, C:\Windows\WinSxS\FileMaps\*edge* is deletable, but anything else in that folder, is not.

@ ShadowWhisperer Thank you, your work is very valuable as this is a complex topic. I posted the remnants more for record and suspect there are likely more traces of left behind code that may not even be tagged as 'edge'. FYI: I ran CCcleaner to see if removing the application itself would also remove the famous edge log files directory and files it generates; and it was still left behind. Note: one of the reasons for trying removing edge was related to a suspected issue of logging browser activity. I ran the .exe a second time and manually deleted the edge log directory and other protected directories with 'edge' tags. After the second round I verified that no more log files were being generated. I think adding an element to deleting the logfiles generating code would be very valuable.
