How do I uninstall Microsoft edge?

Question

I just install Microsoft Edge browser using a deb package.

Now I can not uninstall it.

If I go to the menu, and right click on it, there is no option to uninstall.

If I open Discover app, Edge it not listed anywhere, I did an exhaustive search...

Solution

The name of the package is microsoft-edge-dev according to this link.

To remove it, enter the command

sudo apt remove microsoft-edge-dev

To remove the settings and configuration files along with the program, enter the command

sudo apt purge microsoft-edge-dev

I don't know if the package is now stable and the suffix -dev has been removed. If the above commands does not work, you can try the following

sudo apt remove microsoft-edge

(you can also use sudo apt purge microsoft-edge instead of remove if you want to remove configuration files)

Does this answer your question? What is the correct way to completely remove an application?

[guiverc]

If you use a package manager, it will likely see it and allow removal without using command (given you mention discover it maybe muon that your system has, being used by Lubuntu/Kubuntu that both come with discover; but synaptic, aptitude and others may also offer removal via their UI)

cant find it in muon or apt eithe. When I used Linux mint I could easily uninstall anything installed by deb.

sudo apt remove microsoft-edge-beta if you have beta version.

sudo apt remove microsoft-edge-stable if you have the stable version
