Description
This update provides an advanced, production-ready PowerShell script designed for a thorough removal of Microsoft Edge and its associated components. Key enhancements include:

Accurate cleanup of Edge-related shortcuts.
Proper configuration of Edge policy settings.
No errors were encountered during testing, and all functionalities worked as intended.

Thanks for this update, I'll need to expand it for reinstall as well and probably have some type of redirect for edge calls from the start menu. Probably do an install of MSEdgeRedirect or reference the project.
