If I remove Edge, Will there be any consequences?


Flashback:

I removed edge and onedrive using Chris Titus Tech’s Winutils. In the tool itself they mentioned that removing edge is not recommended. But I did it anyway.

Now for some reason, my library folders (music, videos, etc) reset to their original location. ( I changed it to a custom location).

All I have to do is change it back to custom location. ( No data loss happened).

But what I want to know is that, Are there anymore consequences that I am not aware of?

    That was because CTT WinUtil and other scripts also remove WebView2.

    That can be installed separately to restore the functionality.

    For anything that uses Edge directly, there is MSEdgeRedirect.

      Idk about other scripts but Winutils remove everything but do provide an option to install Webview2.

      Thank you, I’ll look into it.
