The old Edge legacy browser cannot be uninstalled but the shortcut can be deleted manually from the desktop. It worked for me.

Hi,
Currently our default browser is IE 11 and Windows 10 version used is 1909. As MS Edge is an in-built application, we are unable to remove the MS Edge desktop shortcut. Tried adding the following registry but no luck, the desktop shortcut still exists.
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v "DisableEdgeDesktopShortcutCreation" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
Please help if there is a way to remove MS Edge desktop shortcut from all machines.
