MSEdge Not Uninstalling

[Vizonex]

• OS: Windows 10
• Bit: 64
• Edition: Home
• Remover: Batch & Exe Attempted
• Did you try removing Edge prior to this: Yes And it worked just fine before but now it seems to be broken.

I'm having a problem with an execution script in powershell called OneChecker which is meant to be a Microsoft Cookie Tracker for Google Chrome, that must be turned off in task scheduler. I have attempted to uninstall both Edge and Chrome in replacement for Brave browser many times. But the edge and chrome cannot seem to be removed. I've ran the scripts you've made in administrator mode to no avail. :/

[XakerTwo]

any details about what happens, like any errors or something else?
if you tried batch version there should be a log file next to the batch file. can you provide this log file?

oh wait, if you are just downloaded latest version of Both.bat there is unfixed issue
if #127 is not your case use this version for now

[Vizonex]

Sure ^^

i believe you miss first two lines of the log

i see the issue... to force it to work right now i can suggest following
- open Edge.bat as text file
- find line 125

Remove-MS-Edge/Batch/Edge.bat

Lines 122 to 128 in 5db8b09

	:prepare.x86
	echo [prepare().x86] %bat_dbg%
	set "x86ProgramsFolder=%ProgramFiles%"
	REM Thanks to @Ameterius for the 32bit setup.exe
	call :file_obtain^

- copy it and paste at line 98 with replacement (or comment-out the original line 98 by adding REM at beginning of the line and paste copied on the next line)

Remove-MS-Edge/Batch/Edge.bat

Lines 95 to 100 in 5db8b09

	:prepare.amd64
	echo [prepare().amd64] %bat_dbg%
	set "x86ProgramsFolder=%ProgramFiles(x86)%"
	call :file_obtain^

right now i don't have much spare time, but i will try to see what i can do with all that, cuz currently there are three issues with non-standard installation path
