I use Firefox to browse the interet, and MS EDGE is also installed on the Machine. I use CCcleaner to keep everything tidy and "clean" but when using the program CCcleaner always asks to close EDGE, even though I wasnt aware it was running. Is there any way I can either delete or disable EDGE from the PC.
 
Hi. This may help you:

Edit by phillpower2: External link removed as a safety measure as it contained information as to how to edit the registry which is something that should only be done by advanced users.

Edge is embedded within Windows and you should make no attempt at deleting it, doing so will most likely leave you with a computer that cannot boot.

Make FF your default browser "how to" here
 
As per Phill's suggestion go to Settings/Apps/Default apps and change your default browser to Firefox (or whatever) there. Leave Edge install alone, who knows you might even need it one day?
