Microsoft Edge: Reset settings to factory defaults (2 methods)

UPDATED 7/12/2024: If you're using Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 (or 10), you can always reset the settings to factory defaults (similar to resetting Google Chrome). This can be useful if you're having issues, or if an extension (or an app) changes the settings without your permission and you want to restore the original settings.

Regardless of the reason, Edge has a feature that allows you to reset general settings to default. When you use this feature, the browser resets the homepage, new tab page, search engine, and pinned tabs. In addition, it disables extensions and clears your browsing data.

If you want to clear and reset all Microsoft Edge settings, you will need to delete the Edge folder in your system profile folder. This method will not save anything and will require you to start the browser from scratch by configuring a new profile and selecting your settings again.
