You shouldn't uninstall Microsoft Edge primarily because it is deeply integrated into the Windows operating system. Deleting it can break system features, ruin Windows update cycles, and cause issues for other apps that rely on its engine.

System Dependencies: Windows uses Edge’s rendering engine (WebView2) to display web-based content in native apps like the Microsoft Store, Widgets, Copilot, and the Start Menu search bar. Removing it can cause these elements to malfunction.

I don't use Edge, so I just ignore it and don't worry about it. It takes up space on my hard drive, but I have 250 GB of free space, so I don't care.

    This computer is connected to my IC-735 radio.
I don't use Edge. Easiest thing to do, is just delete the shortcut off the screen and make sure it isn't on the Taskbar and forget about it. I use O&O ShutUp which amongst many useful things, will also disable the pop ups you get asking if you want to set Edge as your default browser.

You do not need any 3rd party app to stop edge from asking to be default browser. Brink has it covered here.

As was suggested, delete the shortcut to edge on your desktop, unpin it fom the taskbar, and forget about it. You would be causing other problems by trying to delete the browser.

Yeah, but O&O ShutUp disables all of that Windows spyware as well. It serves me well, plus it's free and it doesn't cause me any issues whatsoever. Brave browser for me all day long.
