In reply to Rich. You need to open the PowerShell program as Administrator. Without Admin level permission, you cannot make any system changes.

What do we do with the file we backed up? Do we restore it to its original location?

In reply to Azcer. If something goes wrong after deleting the folder, the backup will help. You can also restore the backup file within the folder after reinstalling the Edge if you need to retain the browser data.
