GUI-MEU (pronounced Gooey Mew
), standing for Graphical User Interface Microsoft Edge Uninstaller, is a simple application which allows for uninstalling Microsoft Edge. Over time, Microsoft have been making it harder and harder to uninstall Edge and this tool aims to make it easy and painless.
This prebuilt binary is the latest release of GUI-MEU packaged in a neat and handy installer and uninstaller built with NSIS. It's recommended that you use this as it creates a service file which runs GUI-MEU on login, this allows it to check for if Microsoft Edge is installed, if it is, it'll ask you if you would like to uninstall it.
