You could not straight up uninstall it. I don't care if you can play around in some files and eventually find where IE is stashed and delete it. Or if you can get into Windows update and do what basically amounts to hiding it. In that sense, technically every part of the OS is "removable". I took your question as meaning whether or not it could be uninstalled in a standard fashion like any other program, and in that sense, IE never was, which means you can be certain Edge isn't.


8 lets you turn it officially http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/install-ie#ie=ie-11

But one previous version.. Either Vista or 7 (probably Vista) let you actually uninstall it. I remember because one of those upgrades I got annoyed due to finding out I could no longer do that
