Microsoft Edge wont delete

Hi I have attempted multiple ways to delete the Edge browser (by dragging it to the trash from Finder, holding it to press the X to delete but there is no X) and have been unable to find a way to remove it. The app is not running and I have done a restart but I still can not seem to remove it. Can someone please assist? This is not the only app I have been unable to remove. Previously I experienced it with Grammerly so I downloaded an app called "app cleaner and uninstaller" to remove it but have been unable to remove that app now as well.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.4

The first thing I would do is to restart the computer in the Safe Mode. This seems to resolve a lot of odd problems that occasionally pop up. Hold down the Shift key on restart. Be patient as this process can take several minutes while the operating is repairing itself and empties its caches. Then try doing your deletions. Next, restart normally.
