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...

  • 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) – guiverc Nov 16 '20 at 03:09
  • cant find it in muon or apt eithe. When I used Linux mint I could easily uninstall anything installed by deb. – Scorb Nov 16 '20 at 03:14

To remove the stable version, run

sudo apt remove microsoft-edge-stable

And for the beta version,

sudo apt remove microsoft-edge-beta

Previous version of the asnwer.

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
